Community Propane Gas Service
Propane distribution systems, such as Florida Public Utilities Community Gas Systems (CGS), are an innovative source for growing your business. Community gas systems allow you to build a safe, reliable and convenient subdivision in a suburban area, offering the amenities of an urban setting with little or no added cost to developers. Likewise, for commercial projects, community gas systems provide a flexible, innovative solution in areas where no natural gas lines currently exist. All gas tanks are centrally located with buried gas lines — enhancing the appearance of the community. Florida Public Utilities community gas systems are similar to the structure of natural gas systems and are convertible if natural gas becomes available.
Florida Public Utilities is a subsidiary of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (NYSE: CPK), which provides developers with the experience and strong financial backing of a company that has been in business for over 160 years. Based on this solid foundation, you can have confidence in FPU to build a residential or commercial propane system for your development that uses the highest quality construction, design and installation standards.
When you choose Florida Public Utilities for your community gas system project, we work as a team to meet your goals and deadlines and exceed your expectations. Our dedicated coordinators are onsite from the outset to frequently evaluate your construction requirements and then to help execute the project quickly and efficiently.
