Propane/Natural
Gas

Currently
West Wendover does not have access to a natural gas pipeline though,
the City is working with several companies including Ruby Gas and
others on extending their current pipelines to West Wendover. These
pipelines are located 90 miles east of our community. The reality
of natural gas is not if but when.
West Wendover’s
continual business climate of growth is providing exponential need
for low cost fuels such as natural gas for both direct use and through
co-generation facilities. The City’s aggressive approach to
providing the necessary utilities for both large and small business
is a driving factor behind the consideration of several natural
gas companies. Current community make-up confirms that there is
ample market for such service. The City estimates that by the year
2007, we will have natural gas available for consumers in West Wendover.
Liquid Petroleum gas is available
in the community and is provided by Propane of Wendover and Wendover
Gas Company. Propane of Wendover began service in the Wendover area
in 1965 under the ownership and operation of the Eriksen family.
In 1996, Nancy Green assumed ownership of Propane of Wendover and
formed a new company, Wendover Gas Company, which now operates as
an area utility. Wendover Gas Company recently finished instillation
of a network of underground transmission lines providing the community
with a new grid system for delivery of LP gas. This upgrade has
nearly eliminated the need for LP tanks in the community and with
its instillation, Wendover Gas Company has positioned itself as
another aggressive local business in the forefront; the system was
installed with the foresight of use with natural gas; being designed
to meet all needs and requirements of a natural gas system.
