This afternoon I go some news from a contractor for a natural gas company:
I offered some of my property to a natural gas company last year when they were inquiring about running a pipe line through a section of property owned by three of us property owners. They said they need rights of way instead of buying some of the land we own. I asked them to pay us $6,000 for a section of the right of way and that section of the property would be there’s. They told us they don’t need the property (tax loophole maybe) and just need the right of way instead. Well, The natural gas company came over today with a contract and offered me and two other land owners $40,000 total to lay a natural pipeline across the corner of our far most outward piece of property. This is the fourth time they have offered any of us property owners in the area a deal and this will be the second time they are going to dig in the area to run the pipe. They will have to lay pipe a total of 3 acres across our property and two other property owners. Later they will have to connect the pipe to the area they are going to hook up it up to. That area is ready to be accessed by customers future and present. But first, they have to run the pipe across our property. We saw them do this before and it was done really nice and the area was not ruined by them.
So, instead of paying me the $6,000 I asked for on that far section of the property they will now have to pay three of us a little over $13,00 each. That is just great for us. I can pay off my cabin up in Mississippi. My dad paid for the cabin on my property up there and I still owe him 2 years on a 6 year loan for it. Finally, we will be debt free!! The gas company will not damage the property and when they are done you will never know they were there. It is a dense portion of the property and they are not allowed to cut down any trees or run the pipes anywhere near the river or the pond area. The gas company is adding to an area where an older and a newer subdivision and shopping division is and this of course will make them more money in their pockets in the long run. We have natural gas and we love it. I use it for the stove and the wall mounted tank less water heater and our natural gas whole house generator.
