Bolivar Utility Department Celebrates Gas Utility Workers’ Day


Bolivar Utility Department will observe National Gas Utility Workers’ Day on March 18, 2020. This is the fifth year in which Gas Utility Workers’ Day has been officially celebrated across the country. This day of recognition is a time when communities such as ours give recognition to the employees who provide one of their most valuable assets—their natural gas utility.


The official Gas Utility Workers’ Day is March 18 because that is the date of the New London, Texas school explosion in 1937 that led to the widespread odorization of natural gas and an increased emphasis on safety. Safety is a vital aspect to natural gas distribution and the employees of distribution companies endeavor to make natural gas delivery as safe as possible.


This annual nationwide event is intended to build public awareness about the hard work done by the employees of natural gas utilities. The Bolivar Utility Department looks forward to continuing to bring safe, reliable natural gas into your homes and businesses. We also hope you join us in supporting natural gas as a premier energy source for our country. As the cleanest burning fossil fuel, natural gas can help us achieve energy security and build a more competitive economy.


"We recognize and acknowledge the incredible work of our Bolivar Utility Department gas employees. The job that they do is thankless and can be extremely hazardous at times. We are thankful for their commitment to safety and to this community," said Bolivar Utility Department Director Cliff Henson.
