Why is the Ford City Council considering approval of the sale of its natural gas system to Black Hills Energy?
The Ford City Council is evaluating the ongoing financial commitment required to safely maintain the city-owned gas system, including the increasing costs to account for additional liability insurance, ongoing maintenance, unexpected repairs and a dedicated employee to keep up with complicated state and federal pipeline safety regulations. Drawing on our expertise, range of service options, experience and dedication to prudent management and best practices, Black Hills Energy is the right choice to provide the citizens of Ford with safe, reliable natural gas service.
