Randall County approved a utility joint‑use agreement with West Texas Gas Utility LLC on June 10 to allow a polyethylene natural gas distribution line along Dowell Road where the company could not obtain private easement; court vote was 4-0.

Randall County commissioners on June 10 approved a mutual utility joint‑use agreement with West Texas Gas Utility LLC allowing the company to install a polyethylene natural gas distribution line along Dowell Road where private easement access was not available.

Representatives said most of the company’s line in the area is 2-inch pipe and that the new work is intended to serve expected growth along the corridor. Staff said the installation is on private property except for a one‑mile stretch where the property owner would not grant an easement; the company plans to route the line down Dowell Road and bore under the road surface where necessary.

County staff confirmed the proposed installation will meet county standards, with the pipe installed about 4 feet deep. The court approved the agreement on a voice vote, 4-0. Staff said they will notify the utility of the decision.
