Town of Englewood natural gas review

The Town of Englewood requested that MTAS review its current natural gas system. For many years, since the utility was established in the 1950s, very little maintenance or upgrades have been made to the system. The system is aging and many capital improvements are needed to continue the operation in a safe environment. MTAS obtained a history of financial statements, audits, pipeline contracts and other information to get a full view of the entire system and its financial position.
