Fountaintown Gas Co., Inc. History
Seeing a need for natural gas service in small communities in South East Indiana which were not being served by the existing large gas utilities and realizing that natural gas service adequate for the needs of residential, commercial and industrial customers was vital to the survival of small towns, Robert Wortman, started what is presently known as Fountaintown Gas Co., Inc.
Fountaintown Gas Co. Inc. was a small family owned gas company that had previously served the Fountaintown community from local wells with a very limited gas supply. Under new ownership, construction of a modern distribution system, connected to a major intrastate pipeline, was started in 1967. The company as is exists today started by serving two customers in Morristown the first year, to presently serving fifteen small towns and communities in five counties.
Our objective is to provide an adequate supply of natural gas for residential, commercial and industrial needs at the least cost, without sacrificing safety and dependability.
