I am from the government, I’m here to help.

Because of discussions on Agriville, I did a natural gas line install quote for a grain dryer. There is not enough capacity in our rural area so a large enough line, 5 million btu would have to come a fair distance. Quoted 600000 thousand. This now includes a 40000 thousand header hookup fee for all dryers. So yours and my provincial mla heard there was a need and are doing their best. Their best to screw us over, in my opinion. To go less than half a mile and service just a house and a shop is now 40000. Makes any old yard site with gas quite valuable.

Thanks again Grant Devine, OMG! We paid $2600 for a house, and $5900 for 3 MBTU to Dryer, in 1985. Wonder what it actually cost the Gov back then? Costs are stupid, totally bonkers. NFW does it cost that!

We need a Natural Gas 2.0 project.

The Conservative leader 2.0 plan should propose Nat gas for every home/business not now serviced! Carbon Tax be damned.

I dont know your location but nw of edmonton a contract for yard is 7000,and yes most lines are not large enough to supply a dryer or large hog or chicken operation.

A lot of places in States it is $10-20 US per foot to extend main supply line along road. They will sometimes forgo installation costs if enough of the newly serviced customers sign 10 year contract for supply.

Ontario has talked for years about doing massive expansion of the gas grid into rural areas. Alas, the Dyke blew the entire budget on solar panels and windmills.

Obviously not feasible for your dryer, but how far are you talking to run the line and can they just plow the bigger line in or is it a trench job?

[fjlip]

All was plowed in 1985, just by meters was some hoe work.

Ae you planning in drying large quantities every year? Maybe you have over sized your useage and pressure. Have a look again at what you really need. This sounds like 6 inch steel trenched in. 4 inch plastic can be plowed in the ditch and if you just lowered your requirements a bit probably shave that bill by 2/3rds.

Sometimes you can get a better deal by declaring the service seasonal as you wont dry past Sept Oct or in winter when the system is used for residential heating.

Otherwise I would just get a propane bullet.

We used to do these kinds of estimates all the time when I worked for SaskEnergy and the farmers always got sticker shock until someone questioned them on what they really need and when, then you can usually work something out.
