According to a local newspaper, the natural gas pipeline has now reached Mugla and there is a consultation taking place on whether to bring it through to Fethiye. The fly in the ointment appears to be that 60% of the current electricity accounts need to express an interest in having natural gas and pay in advance a 335tl fee to have your property connected, this fee will be refunded if the project fails to happen. I would love to have natural gas but I seriously doubt whether another 31,989 people will join me and pay the deposit. I was really surprised that the deadline to subscribe was 29/10/2013. I would have thought this would have been more widely publicised.
Even though it will mean that all of the roads will need to be dug up yet again, it would be a great shame to loose this opportunity to further enhance the infrastructure of our small corner of Turkey.
