Vectren working with New Market to gauge interest in natural gas
Evansville, Ind. - Vectren Energy Delivery (Vectren) is currently gauging residents' interest in bringing
natural gas service to New Market, Ind. Pending regulatory approval and resident interest, the utility hopes to install new pipelines and facilities and soon be providing natural gas service to the area.
"As we continue to expand Vectren's natural gas footprint in the state of Indiana, we look forward to the possibility of bringing the option of natural gas service to New Market residents," said Mike Roeder, president of Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana - North. "More than 70 percent of all homes in the Midwest are heated with natural gas, and that number will continue to grow due to the very favorable long-term outlook for low, stable natural gas prices."
Natural gas is increasingly the fuel of choice in today's homes and provides superior comfort, reliability and energy efficiency. It continues to be the most affordable home heating solution and is also the cleanest- burning energy source for a home. More information on the benefits of natural gas can be reviewed at www.vectren.com/naturalgas.
Vectren also offers a piping assistance program whereby qualifying residential and commercial customers converting to natural gas from another heating source can receive a $250 incentive. The incentive is intended to help cover the expenses associated with any costs the customer incurs to have a licensed contractor install indoor natural gas piping and/or retrofit existing appliances for natural gas use.
Interested customers should contact Vectren about natural gas service at their home or business by visiting www.vectren.com/gasservice or calling 1-877-227-1376, and pressing option 6. Vectren encourages potential customers to contact the company as soon as possible in order to gain an accurate count of interested parties. A Vectren representative will also be available to answer questions at the New Market town garage sale in August.
