Board meeting highlights natural gas fire training facility
City Utilities Natural Gas department is entering the final phases of upgrading the natural gas fire training facility and construction of a new natural gas leak training facility. The upgrades will allow CU crews and other emergency response agencies to be better trained to respond to natural gas emergencies.
The upgrade and construction projects were made possible by a federal grant from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Act Administration (PHMSA), a section of the Department of Transportation (DOT), in the amount of $41,383.
The Board was also informed that the employees of City Utilities have been recognized by two local charities for their fundraising efforts. Employees have donated $168,000 to the United Way of the Ozarks campaign and during 2009, CU employees chose CASA as their charity of choice for fundraising efforts. Through events held during the year, employees raised $8,275 to assist with the efforts of CASA. The donation was presented to the agency earlier this week.
