Gas supply resumed; fuel problems halted
Natural gas service to the University of Kansas was resumed yesterday, temporarily ending the energy problems caused by severe winter weather.
Rodger Oroke, director of Facilities Operations, said the University's boilers were switched back to natural gas at 11 a.m. yesterday. That ended a 86 day period, the longest ever, in which KU was forced to use its oil fuel reserves to heat the campus.
When forced to use fuel oil, the University burns 17,000 to 19,000 gallons of fuel oil a day. Heating with fuel oil costs about $265 an hour, which is twice as much as natural gas. So this winter KU had only a five day supply of oil because of transportation difficulties.
The University has been without gas service since Jan. 1. Service was curtailed under the terms of KU's interruptible Gas Company. The contract allows for
service to be discontinued when demand is high. Extremely cold temperatures this
William Salome, vice president and general manager of the gas company, said his supplier had called him at 10 a.m. yesterday and said he could begin selling gas to KU again. The supplier, City Service, determines whether demand is low enough to allow heavy users, such as KU, to have service restored.
Salome said he did not know whether the University would be allowed to remain on the campus, but she said it was.
"We anticipate normal temperatures for March, and if so, KU should be able to remain on natural gas for heat," Salome said. "However, if temperatures drop into 10 degree range, indications from City Service are that service can be cut off again."
