Body
SUMMARY:
Tarpon Springs Housing Authority granted a Gas Utility Easement to the City for real property located in Tarpon Springs (Parcel ID# 18-27-16-47520-000-0001) for the operation and maintenance of natural gas distribution mains. This parcel has undergone site redevelopment, where all buildings were demolished, and the original roads were vacated and new roads were established to serve a new housing development.
Unfortunately, the Housing Authority decided to not include natural gas in the new development. As a result, CGS has cut and capped all gas mains and abandoned in-place, as there were no remaining gas accounts. The gas lines had served the former community for over 30 years.
