TOCCOPOLA, MS(WCBI) – People in Toccopola now have a new option for heating their homes. Pontotoc’s Natural Gas Department has been given the official okay to build a pipeline to the town and surrounding area. The new pipeline will extend about ten miles and could add another 150 customers to the city’s gas service.Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley was on hand to make the official announcement.

Presley: “One of the goals that I’ve had from the time I had on the commission is that we help look out for communities like Toccopola, and that they have the same services that large cities have”
Berry: ” An advantage is sounds would be to pay for it as you use it. In other words, you don’t have to buy more than you want to at the time…you can kind of work it in your budget” >

Pontotoc Gas expects to break ground on the pipeline in March with an eye to start service this fall.
