For the 2nd straight year, an overwhelming 70 percent of the single-family homes completed in 1999 featured natural gas, demonstrating consumers strong preference for this efficient fuel, according to a survey released by the American Gas Association. The Gulf Breeze Natural Gas Department continues to rank as the third fastest growth rate utility in the State of Florida. This is accomplished with a trained work force of 6 employees under the direction of Director Harrold Hatcher. The Department's key responsibilities are the design, construction and maintenance of the City's gas line infrastructure. Along with this impressive growth rate, Gulf Breeze Natural Gas continues to pass Public Service Commission safety inspections without violations.
Natural gas is America's natural wonder.
Natural gas use has increased by 35 percent over the last decade, and is projected to grow by 45 percent by 2015. 99 percent of all natural gas we use comes from North America. Natural gas is the cleanest, safest and most efficient fossil fuel. Electricity comes from coal burning generators which produces far more emissions than natural gas. The 2 million mile underground natural gas delivery system has an outstanding safety record.
