Seneca Nation Utilities – Natural Gas Department updates

Submitted by Anthony Giacobbe

Converting to natural gas will save customers $1,000-$1,500 a year vs. propane!

There will be no charge for the pipeline to be installed to residences within 200’ of road. There will be a per foot charge (approx. $7-$10/ft.) for residences that are further than 200’ from road.

It will be necessary to determine what appliances need to be converted to natural gas or if any new appliances will be required to be purchased. Homeowners will need to work with a contractor and/or plumber to schedule a home visit with an outside contractor at a time that is convenient for you.

The installation of the new service will involve digging in your yard/lawn. Following the installation of the service your yard will be restored.

Buried propane tanks will need to be emptied. Buried tanks can remain in the ground or be removed at the owner’s discretion. Above ground tanks can be removed by your current supplier.

New customers will be entered into the Seneca Nation natural gas customer pool.

Seneca Energy/Seneca Utilities will notify residents as soon as possible regarding a tentative installation timeline. If you have any questions regarding the conversion to natural gas please contact Seneca Energy Project Managers, Tony Memmo or Wes Jackson at 532-9221.
