  1. I have a suspicion we would all like the choice, not just Ellis Rd residents.

    The township must be fair and make natural gas available to ALL residents. I am sure we would all benefit the switch from propane/oil to natural gas. Please don’t just make the issue for Ellis Rd. Residents. Help all Puslinch residents get affordable fuel source.
