It was a fairly packed room at the Montrose borough council meeting on March 2, 2015. Prior to addressing any of these visitors, however, council addressed its standard business matters.

During Mr. DiPhillips report, a generator was discussed. Council had asked him to look into a diesel generator, versus natural gas. Diesel, he said, wasn't going to be as effective. He was waiting for one more price quote, there was kind of a discrepancy on the size generator for the building. Mr. Chamberlain asked if putting an extra zone in, which had apparently been mentioned, would effect the load. The secretary said the third zone was in by the time this had been factored.

At the March 5th New Milford borough meeting, there wasn't a march 5th borough meeting.  Due to a lack of quorum, no decisions could be made that evening for certain.  What there was, however, was an information session from Leatherstocking representatives regarding the proposed entrance of natural gas to the area in the summer of 2015. 

This reporter walked into this presentation in progress.  The Leatherstocking representative had a preliminary map, which he displayed for the presentation.  The intention was to connect to Carey Road, down Sutton Road, up 848 into eleven, and then come up Main Street and off of Main Street onto other streets.  It would come off DTE Bluestone Compressor Interconnect.  The gas would be odorized, the pressure reduced, and then it would go down the roads and into the borough of New Milford with probably a 6” main.   He had an example of the main, which he passed around.
