Texas Gas urges conservation
Thursday, February 18, 2021 by Elizabeth Pagano
The statewide, post-storms recovery has asked Texans with power and water to conserve those resources. Now, Texas Gas Service is asking the same. “The demand for natural gas continues to outpace supply, and it is going to take time for our suppliers to get their natural gas wells back online. That’s why it is so important for everyone to continue to minimize the amount of natural gas they are using,” reads a statement posted to the utility’s website. “We are at a critical point that we need to keep that effort going and have our residential customers do the same. … The small actions you can take could result in big impacts as more and more people do them. Such as lowering your thermostats, turning down your hot water heater and sealing leaks around doors and windows.”
