The engineer's office told us that a full mile of new line would cost roughly $20,000 to $22,000 depending on many construction variables. Generally, the first $5,000 of the cost of new service paid via a five year contract with monthly payments (some power is included with the contract), and the balance must be paid in cash (often included in the overall building loan package). There costs and policies change from time to time, so be sure to call SIEA for details specific to your plans.

We were told by both Huerfano County companies that tank rental runs approximately $50 to $60 per year, depending on tank size, and that the installation of the tank and the line to the home begins around $250 and goes up from there, depending on the distance from the tank to the home and on how easy it is to dig the trench for the line. All Star Gas delivers propane to Huerfano County locations, but does not do service work. All Star told us that they do not charge any tank rental fee!
