A similar gas distribution system is also planned for Hensall, subject to Ontario Energy Board approval being sought at hearings to be held in June. It is expected that natural gas service will be available to residents of these communities by late summer of this year. The company representatives conducting the canvass will identify themselves immediately by showing the householder an official identification cardif someone calls on you in the name of Union Gas Company and fails to show his identity card, please ask to see it. In order to provide this service, Union Gas Company will construct a 25-mile-long, 4-inch diameter transmission line to bring natural gas to these communities from the Company's main transmission line near Elginfield. This 4-inch transmission line will be connected in turn to each community's distribution system thus making natural gas available along most streets in Lucan, Centralia, Exeter and Hensall. Construction of this distribution system will necessitate disturbing certain streets, sidewalks and lawns, from time to time during the next few months. Union Gas regrets any temporary inconvenience this construction may cause and wishes to assure those affected that the work will be completed as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Also, disturbed areas will be restored to their normal condition with the least possible delay and inconvenience. Construction of each distribution system will be carried out by areas successively and the company will provide advance notification to the householders in each area. Union Gas Company is a privately-owned utility company which operates under regulations of the Ontario Department of Energy and Resources Management. The entire cost of installing these natural gas transmission and distribution systems will be borne by the company without any cost to the communities or their tax payers. Actually, Union Gas Company will become a new taxpayer in the town. In order to determine where gas distribution lines will be initially required, Union Gas representatives are commencing a door-to-door canvass of householders throughout the town, If you are called upon during the next few weeks, your co-operation in answering the canvasser's questions will be greatly appreciated. Union Gas Company currently provides natural gas service to some 315,000 customers in 248 cities, towns, villages, police villages and townships in the 17 Southwestern Ontario counties of Brant, Bruce, Elgin, Essex, Grey, Haldimand, Halton, Huron, Kent, Lambton, Middlesex, Norfolk, Oxford, Perth, Waterloo, Wellington and Wentworth. The company takes pride in the fact that, through the years, it has become accepted as a "good citizen" of each of these municipalities, The company hopes soon to be recognized in the same way in Lucan, Centralia, Exeter and Hensall.
