COVINGTON, Ind. —
Fountain County will see more than $3,000 in savings on its gas bill for county-owned buildings if they switch to ProLiance Energy of Indianapolis.
ProLiance is an independent company owned by Vectren and Citizens Gas.
ProLiance, who had a representative at the Oct. 15 meeting, studied the county’s bills with Vectren from August 2011 through July of this year. The total savings with ProLiance would have been $3,149.65.
“That looks pretty good to me,” said commissioner Walt Wilson.
In other business, commissioners:
- Approved an ordinance that would allow retiring persons in the sheriff’s department with more than 20 years service to receive their sidearms.
- Tabled action on determining the procedure for closing county roads in weather-related incidents until the Nov. 19 meeting.
