The Propane Division of the Greater Dickson Gas
Authority was established in August of 1992 utilizing our old "standby" propane
peak shaving system which was no longer adequate to meet the growth needs of the system.
Over the last several years, warmer winters has caused the system to not be
utilized. With minimum conversion, the system was converted into a propane
distribution system. We felt this would better utilize our existing idle equipment,
and also meet the growth needs for potential gas customers. Up until that time, when
a non acquired "natural gas" customer's old heating system or water heater
expired, the only alternative was replacement with one of our competitors products or
simply revert back to electric. We feel this transition move into propane has been
very successful. The propane section has grown tremendously into a division unto
itself. Currently we serve customers within a 25-30 mile radius of Dickson which
includes portions of these seven (7) different counties (Dickson, Montgomery, Houston,
Humphrey's, Hickman, Williamson, and Cheatham).
