Louisa County board hears update on propane tank gauge failure and delivery timing
Summary
Board members discussed a recent LP (propane) tank gauge failure that delayed refilling, the need to burn off vapors to empty the tank, parts ordering and delivery schedules, and the county's twice-yearly delivery cadence.
Board members reviewed a recent propane (LP) tank servicing issue that interrupted a scheduled refill. One board member described a gauge failure that led crews to add roughly 2,000 gallons, then pump and burn vapors to empty the tank, order a replacement gauge and await parts to complete the refill.
Members noted that county LP deliveries occur twice a year and discussed minimum fill thresholds required by the vendor for transport. The board agreed to follow up on delivery timing and the vendor’s refill requirements to avoid repeat interruptions.
A resident inquired whether 2,000 gallons had to be burned off; the board clarified that vapors were burned to vent the tank and that the agency did not lose the entire 2,000 gallons as liquid product. No safety incident or injuries were reported in the transcript.
