Exploring Natural Gas for Rick Road
Over the past several months, a group of Rick Road residents has been working with PECO to explore the possibility of bringing natural gas service to our neighborhood.
PECO is currently evaluating whether natural gas service can be extended to Rick Road.
The next step
As the next step in the evaluation process, PECO is gathering non-binding applications from homeowners within the proposed project area.
According to PECO, every completed non-binding application helps reduce the project’s cost and helps PECO evaluate the opportunity for Rick Road.

Why it matters

In simple terms, the more neighbors who submit an application, the lower the project cost becomes.
With minimal participation, the estimated cost to bring natural gas to an individual property could exceed:
If all households within the proposed project area submit a non-binding application, the estimated project cost could potentially be reduced by approximately:
The more neighbors who submit an application, the lower the project cost becomes.
