A community propane system is a type of underground pipeline that delivers propane to homes. These systems are usually located in a low-visibility common area. A tank or other container is placed underground and connected to the gas meters.
In Portland, CT there are many advantages to using a community gas system instead of a single-yard propane tank.
- One central system can help with curb appeal and increase the marketability of a development.
- Residents do not have to worry about filling up their tanks every time they use them, and they can avoid costly bills.
- Community tanks are also maintenance-free, and they meet the high safety standards in Connecticut.
A community of Portland homes shares a large propane tank, which then pipes the fuel into each other through an underground system. This eliminates the need for customers to install a tank in their yards and allows them to enjoy the same level of natural gas service they would get with piped in.
A gas distribution system can be easily expanded to serve different types of properties in Portland and throughout Connecticut, such as schools, homes, and commercial and industrial centers.
