The Clearwater Gas System has provided service within the City of Belleair Beach for the past 25 years under the current franchise agreement, which is set to expire on 9/30/18.

The effective date shall be the 1^st day of the following month after the Interlocal Agreement is approved by the City of Clearwater.  The Agreement provides the City of Clearwater a 15-year non-exclusive right to continue to construct, operate and maintain all facilities necessary to supply natural gas to the City of Belleair Beach.  The agreement also provides for renewal options, which may be extended for an additional 15 years.

The Interlocal Agreement provides for a 6% franchise fee to be paid by the consumers of natural gas within the City of Belleair Beach.  The prior franchise fee was 6%.
