Easton Utilities will observe the national Gas Utility Workers’ Day on March 18, 2021. This is a time when communities such as ours give recognition to the employees who provide one of Easton’s most valuable assets—our natural gas utility. “We are proud to have the skilled crew dedicated to providing safe, reliable service to our 4,757 natural gas customers,” stated James Crowley, Natural Gas Department Manager.
We celebrate Gas Utility Workers’ Day on March 18 to commemorate the New London, Texas school explosion in 1937 that led to the widespread odorization of natural gas and an increased emphasis on safety. This annual nationwide event is intended to build public awareness about the hard work done by the employees of natural gas utilities. We also take this opportunity to educate our community on the environmental and safety benefits and need to have access and the ability to choose clean, reliable, and affordable natural gas.
Easton Utilities looks forward to continuing to bring safe, reliable natural gas into your homes and businesses. “We support and endorse natural gas as a premier energy source with numerous benefits,” added Crowley.“As the cleanest burning fossil fuel, natural gas can help us achieve energy security, our environment goals and build a more competitive economy.”
Easton Utilities is a community-owned, not-for-profit utility and telecommunications company operating the Electric, Natural Gas, Water, Wastewater, Cable Television, and Internet services for the Town of Easton and portions of the surrounding area. Visit eastonutilities.com for more information.
