property owners signed up with Moor for their trash disposal, so we now
qualify for the lower rate. All future bills should automatically be
lowered to $54 per quarter.
Thanks to Cathy Ward for doing the research and legwork on this
project. And thanks to all of the members or our community who supported
their community by switching haulers.
We're making great progress on this. But we need to keep the ball
rolling and eliminate as many heavy trucks as possible from our
community roads.
WOLFE POINTE POA - NATURAL GAS UPDATE – JULY 2011 Chesapeake Utilities reviewed their plans for natural gas service to the Lewes area. Their pipeline is scheduled to reach Beebe Hospital (on Savannah Road) by September and SPI Pharma (near the entrance Cape Henlopen State Park) by December. For the communities along Gills Neck Road, they are reviewing detailed maps to design the placement of a gas line along that stretch. In order to determine whether or not they can install a main gas line within our development, we have given them a detailed community map and their engineers will develop cost estimates to determine the specific percentage of our 187 property owners who must commit to using natural gas. If we meet that target, they’ll install a community main and deliver service directly to a meter on each lot. The estimates they advise for determining potential cost savings is to expect natural gas to run about $2.00 per gallon less than the cost of propane. The average heat and hot water savings for a 2,500 square foot home is approximately $1,500 per year. The first step is to complete their
survey, expressing your interest and what services in your home would use
natural gas (heat, hot water, etc.). Please follow the directions on the form for return information. Once they determine how many of us it will take and there is sufficient interest, our obligation will be as follows: 1. Submit a request for gas service at your address; $35 application fee. 2. Allow
installation of the feeder from the community main through boring (not excavation)
from the street to a meter on your property. 3. Allow installation of the meter; potential $100 fee, depending upon size of the meter. 4. Convert the connectors from each appliance in your home to accept natural gas; approximate cost $125 to $175 per appliance. We will provide additional updates as
they become available. Download the survey form by clicking here or on the link in the top right of this page. New Community Bulletin Board Check out the new Community Bulletin Board page.
