Eckles Township area interest survey

1. Survey
2. Verify and submit
3. Confirmation

Minnesota Energy Resources is evaluating the potential of a natural gas service extension into the Eckles Township area. We would like to evaluate the interest in natural gas if it were available. Completion of this survey is not a commitment to convert to natural gas. We will use the information to develop a project scope, determine whether there is enough interest to move forward, and, based on interest, calculate whether there would be a cost to the customer.

Please complete this survey by Aug. 31, 2021.
