Natural Gas Expansion Not Coming to New Canaan

NEW CANAAN, CT A dual fuel system will allow New Canaan schools to use either propane or oil for heating in an effort to save money based on market costs.

A plan under the system's current heating oil supplier would bury propane tanks and use existing infrastructure to both propane and oil, according to the New Canaanite. Tanks could be installed as early as September at many schools.

For several years the town has tried to work with Eversource to expand natural gas to downtown New Canaan, but plans never materialized.
