One of the easiest ways is to choose natural gas for your energy needs. Natural gas is domestically abundant and environmentally friendly. More than 90% of the energy produced as natural gas is delivered directly to your home, compared to just 27% for electric power. As a result, Carbon Dioxide is greatly reduced; up to a 75% decrease when using gas appliances. This quality is one reason why natural gas is the cleanest of all fossil fuels. Choose natural gas when replacing old appliances or building a new home. You save money, and retain market value of your home. Your choice will help the environment and future generations.

The Metropolitan Utilities District is the fifth largest public gas utility in the country; providing clean, efficient natural gas to more than 235,000 gas customers. Natural gas is an economical, safe, colorless and odorless gas. For easy detection, we add a harmless chemical to give gas a distinctive odor. If you smell gas, leave the building or area, and then call our 24/7 emergency line at 402.554.7777 or 911. There’s no charge for checking gas leaks.

Natural gas in its native state is colorless and odorless. Mercaptan is the additive that is added to natural gas to make it easier to detect in case of a leak. The most important thing to know about mercaptan is that it stinks. Some people compare it to the smell of rotten eggs. In a concentrated form, its smell is almost unbearable.

If we did not add mercaptan, it would be difficult for you to know that unlit natural gas was coming from your stove after you left the valve turned on. And leaks from furnaces and hot water heaters would be nearly impossible to detect without expensive equipment.

The District buys natural gas from a portfolio of suppliers in the U.S. and Canada. As an aggregator for our customer-owners, buying large volumes of gas enables us to negotiate the most economical price, allowing us to keep residential rates lower than the national average. To see current natural gas rates, visit “Rates and Fees” under the “My Bill” tab on our website. The M.U.D. Board of Directors sets the non-gas or fixed base part of the gas rate. The fixed base rate covers costs for operation, maintenance, and administration of gas plants and mains. The gas part of the rate, which fluctuates every month depending on the price at the wellhead, goes to buy natural gas.

Natural gas supplies nearly one-fourth (22 percent) of all energy used in the U.S. In 2021, the U.S. consumed 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Natural gas is clean, reliable, and American, which makes it increasingly popular.

Natural gas is the dominant fuel of choice for new electric power generation plants because it is cleaner-burning. Also, natural gas combined-cycle plants can be built more quickly and less expensively than coal or nuclear facilities, which produces far more emissions than natural gas. So, using natural gas to replace electricity in heating systems and appliances reduces our carbon footprint and is better for the environment.

About 90% of the gas produced is delivered to the customer as usable energy. In contrast, only about 27% of the energy converted to electricity reaches the customer. On average, electricity costs four times more to use in your home than natural gas.

Natural gas is a domestic energy source. In 2006, nearly all of the natural gas consumed in the U.S. (81%) was produced in the U.S. Most of the rest (16%) came from Canada with 3% imported as liquefied natural gas (LNG)

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, with huge amounts of natural gas potentially available in shale formations, the U.S. could have to meet its current demand for more than 100 years. By one estimate, U.S. gas reserves now are equal in energy value to Saudi Arabia’s oil reserves. The ample gas supplies also have pushed prices down. U.S. consumers pay half the going wholesale rate in many other developed countries.

The natural gas supply picture changed with the potential of shale gas, which is being tapped with horizontal drilling methods and the improved use of water and chemicals to break up and recover gas in huge underground formations.

The U.S. natural gas pipeline network is a highly integrated transmission and distribution grid that can transport natural gas to and from nearly any location in the lower 48 states.

Many gas companies purchase natural gas during the summer and store it underground, to help ensure that home-heating customers can stay warm on even the coldest day. With natural gas, 90 percent of the total energy is delivered directly to you, unlike electricity where only 27 percent is delivered.

We take natural gas safety very seriously. Experienced personnel routinely inspect and maintain natural gas mains, and crews are available to respond to emergencies 24 hours a day.

LNG is stored at very low (near atmospheric) pressure in double-walled, insulated tanks. The inner tank contains the LNG, while the outer tank contains the insulation and prevents any natural gas vapor from escaping.

All new LNG facilities are required to have a dike or impounding wall capable of containing 110-percent of the maximum LNG storage capacity. In the unlikely event of a spill, this feature will prevent LNG from flowing off site.  Storage facilities use advanced monitoring systems to immediately detect any liquid or natural gas leaks or fires at the plant.

Many people feel energy efficiency begins and ends in their homes. In reality, energy efficiency begins prior to reaching your home. The Full Fuel Cycle represents the amount of energy expended to bring a fossil fuel, such as coal from the earth to your home. Using natural gas in your home is three times more efficient than using electricity.

If you smell an odor or know there is a damaged gas line, do not use any matches, candles, lighters, flashlights, motors or appliances. Don’t even use the light switch, telephone or cellular phone.

If you detect a faint odor of natural gas, check the pilot lights. If the pilot light or burner flame is out, shut off the gas supply to the appliance. Allow ample time for any gas accumulation to escape before relighting.

Natural gas is an efficient, safe, colorless and odorless gas. For easy detection, we add a harmless chemical called mercaptan to give gas a distinctive odor. Most people describe the smell as rotten eggs or hydrogen sulfide like odor.

It smells bad for a good reason – in case of a gas leak! If you smell natural gas, leave the house. Do not use a light switch, telephone or cell phone. Once you are safely out of the house call us at 402.554.7777 or 911. Our gas emergency line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We immediately dispatch a service technician to your house to investigate the smell. When we arrive an adult must be present to meet us. Our average arrival time is under 25 minutes!

Besides utility companies need for mercaptan, there are other trades that use it. Industries use it for jet fuel, pharmaceuticals and livestock feed additives. It is used in many chemical plants. Mercaptan is less corrosive and less toxic than similar sulfur compounds found naturally in rotten eggs, onions, garlic, skunks, and, of course, bad breath. In other words, forms of mercaptan can be found in things that smell.

A service line runs from the main in the street to the meter. We are responsible for the maintenance, repair and location of the main, service line, regulator and meter.

The property owner owns and maintains the fuel lines on the “house side” or downstream of the meter, including buried fuel lines. The fuel line on the “house side” begins after the meter.

Call a qualified plumber or heating contractor to provide location, inspection and repair services for buried lines. The service line will be located at no charge when you contact Nebraska 811 by calling 811 or 800.331.5666. You can also submit via the website. When excavating near a buried fuel line, locate the line in advance and excavate by hand. Nebraska 811 does not locate buried fuel lines after the meter.

Natural gas in its native state is colorless and odorless. Mercaptan is the additive that is added to natural gas to make it easier to detect in case of a leak. The most important thing to know about mercaptan is that it stinks. Some people compare it to the smell of rotten eggs.

In a concentrated form, its smell is almost unbearable. And it takes only a few parts per million of mercaptan to give natural gas a smell. That is precisely why we add it to natural gas. If we did not add mercaptan, it would be difficult for you to know that unlit natural gas was coming from your stove after you left the valve turned on. And leaks from furnaces and hot water heaters would be nearly impossible to detect without expensive equipment. So mercaptan’s smell is a very valuable safety feature.

Mercaptans contain sulfur. That’s what makes them smell. The kind we use blends well with natural gas and, in a gaseous state, has much the same properties as natural gas, so it will also rise and dissipate with natural gas.

There are other uses for mercaptans in industry, including jet fuel, pharmaceuticals and livestock feed additives. They are used in many chemical plants. Mercaptans are less corrosive and less toxic than similar sulfur compounds found naturally in rotten eggs, onions, garlic, skunks, and, of course, bad breath. In other word, forms of mercaptan can be found in things that smell.

The park is the terminus of the North Country National Scenic Trail which stretches 4,600 miles from Vermont to Lake Sakakawea State Park. Several multi-use trails in the park are perfect for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Hikers are encouraged to take in the scenic beauty of the completed segments of the North Country National Scenic Trail found in this park.

The North Country Trail is one of this park’s highlights. Beginning in Vermont the trail crosses eight states before ending at the western terminus of Lake Sakakawea State Park. The NCT is the longest continuous hiking trail (4600 miles) in the U.S. The trail can be accessed just outside the Visitor Center where a large sign rises from the hill prairie with a backdrop of Lake Sakakawea, affording a nice place for photos. This shortgrass prairie is home to a myriad of native flowers and pollinators. The trail continues through mature elm/ash coulees where deer, pheasants, and numerous birds may be sighted. The trail climbs in elevation as it hooks up with Whitetail Trail and continues down to the south end of the park where there is a good view of the Army Corps of Engineers’ Intake Structure leading to the Garrison Dam.

The Shoreline Trail traverses the entire length, north-south, of the park and is the longest distance trail at this site. Beginning at the east side of the Sanish Group sites the trail follows where the waters of Lake Sakakawea meet the land. One will experience the many outcroppings of scoria formations, along with petrified trunks of ancient trees. There are several coal veins that strongly contrast against the red scoria rocks. The trail’s southern end encompasses several quieter bays where shorebirds and waterfowl may be seen.

CAMPING ADVISORY: Swartswood campground will be closed for the winter season, December 18, 2022 through March 31, 2023. We will reopen April 1, 2023. Camping during this time is available nearby at Stokes State Forest.

Purchased in 1914 for public enjoyment, Swartswood Lake has been attracting visitors long before it was established as a state park. This remote and rural area is off the beaten path and away from all major highways, but worth finding. Don’t expect jet skis or gas-powered motorboats racing across the 519-acre natural glacial lake as only electric motors are permitted. Instead, expect views of colorful sailboats, canoes and kayaks on the still waters of Swartswood Lake. As a bonus, Little Swartswood Lake offers all of the same on a smaller scale (except swimming), just minutes away by car or a short hike. Bring binoculars for a close view of the many resident bald eagles frequently seen flying over the lakes as well as other birds of prey and waterfowl. So, pack your gear for the day or weekend and take advantage of all the opportunities the natural landscape has to offer.

The lake became popular as a summer resort in the late 1800s for urban dwellers seeking respite in a tranquil rural environment. Visitors travelled by horse-drawn carriage, railroad and eventually by automobile to reach the shores of Swartswood Lake. Small cottages, tent platforms and boarding houses occupied the shoreline. Canoes, sailboats and even a steamboat provided leisurely transport on the pristine 519-acre lake. It later became the perfect location for New Jersey’s first state park. It all started with just 10 acres donated by George M. Emmons and his wish ” …that the people may have the use of the premises conveyed as a public park forever…” The lake was purchased in 1914 for $30,000 from Andrew Albright, a wealthy Newark manufacturer, who would not allow public access without payment of one dollar each day. Public outcry prompted the State to pursue the acquisition. Swartswood was established as New Jersey’s first state park in 1915 to ensure public access to the State’s third largest freshwater lake.

The formation of Swartswood Lake began more than 10 million years ago when the limestone and dolomite beneath the valley floor began to dissolve, causing the creation of sinkholes and caverns. Eventually, Swartswood Lake was created as retreating glaciers eroded and scoured the area over 10,000 years ago.

This 0.6-mile-long paved path provides a level surface for walking and biking and is accessible for persons with disabilities. The trail meanders through a forested area along Duck Pond. Wayside exhibits found along the trail provide information on the unique natural features found in the area. A bird blind has been constructed to allow visitors to view birdlife in the area with little disturbance to their habitat.

This 0.8-mile-long trail is blazed in yellow and begins at the Duck Pond parking area just to the right of the kiosk. This is an easy to moderate hike on an earthen, hilly path. The trail ends where it meets the paved Duck Pond Trail allowing you to combine the two trails for a full loop back to the parking area.

CAMPING ADVISORY:Swartswood campground will be closed for the winter season, December 18, 2022 through March 31, 2023. We will reopen April 1, 2023. Camping during this time is available nearby at Stokes State Forest.

As conditions permit, kayaks are available to rent for self-guided interpretive tours of the Swartswood Lake Water Trail. Call the park office to inquire about kayak rentals to explore Swartswood Lake.

The freshwater angler can enjoy year-round fishing in Little Swartswood and Swartswood Lakes. The lakes are stocked with brown, rainbow and brook trout in the spring. Summer and fall catches include bass, sunfish, catfish, walleye, perch and pickerel. Fishing is available along the shores or by boat. Fishing also is permitted in the mill pond near Keen"s Grist Mill. Fishing is subject to the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife regulations (link is external).

Most of the area east of County Route 619 is open to hunting. Game commonly found in the park include ring-necked pheasant, ruffed grouse, wild turkey, gray squirrel, eastern cottontail and white-tailed deer. Hunting is subject to theNew Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife regulations.

Secluded picnic areas overlooking the lake can be found throughout the park with picnic tables and grills available at each site. Charcoal fires must be contained in the metal grills provided at the site. Visitors are free to bring their own grills. Wood fires are not permitted. Food and refreshments and basic supplies are available for sale at the concession stand. View the menu. Swartswood also offers a group picnic area with a shelter for larger groups and can accommodate a maximum of 80 people. It may be reserved for a fee.

A sand volleyball pit, basketball court, playgrounds and open playing fields for Frisbee, kick ball, soccer and softball are located near the picnic areas and are available on a first come first served basis. Bring your own equipment.

The lakes are an important ecological and recreational resource.  Visitors come from all around for an opportunity to go swimming, boating or fishing in these lakes.  Many just come to relax along the shores. The lakes are also home to a healthy bald eagle population. Daily sightings of a mature or immature bald eagle are common.

Lakes go through a natural aging process. If left undisturbed, a lake can age and change naturally over thousands of years.  However, our lakes are naturally productive, high in nutrients and greatly impacted by human activity within the watershed area that drains into the lake. This combination accelerates the aging process and requires a more aggressive approach to promote biodiversity and maintain a healthy ecosystem. With the help of our partners, the Swartswood Lakes and Watershed Association and other stake holders, we have been successful in adopting an effective integrated approach to lake management. This includes mechanical, biological and chemical methods to control the growth of invasive aquatic weeds while providing the opportunity for native plants to thrive.

Near the outlet of Swartswood Lake is Keen’s Gristmill, built in the 1930s on the site of several earlier mills. The earliest mill dates back to the Revolutionary War. The mill was used to grind locally grown corn into meal. The structure was acquired by the State in July 1976.

In October 2000, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection added 444 acres of Swartswood State Park to the State’s Natural Area System, making it the 43rd designated Natural Area. The area was designated for the preservation of rare sinkhole ponds, pond shore vegetation communities and numerous known occurrences of rare plant and animal species.

A NJ State Park Service Special Use Permit is required for various types of short-duration, organized activities and/or events within a state park, forest and/or historic site. Examples of organized activities and/or special events include, but are not limited to press events, commercial photography and/or filming, corporate events, fundraisers, festivals, demonstrations, walkathons and races, concerts, Televised events and/or commercial use of or on State Park Service lands and/or waters.

Protect plants and animals and care for your parks by taking your trash with you. Whatever you carry into the park, plan on carrying it out too. It’s like crowdsourcing trash management! Bring a bag or two for trash, recycling and cleaning up after your pet. There are no trash receptacles in this park. Thank you!

Swimming is permitted, while lifeguards are on duty, from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day. The beach area includes changing rooms, restrooms, showers, a first-aid station and a concession building where food and beach supplies may be purchased. Inner tubes, rafts and other flotation devices are not permitted in the swimming area. Only U.S. Coast Guard approved life jackets are allowed.

Use insect repellent, wear light-colored clothing, tuck pants into socks, stay on trails, check yourself when you get home, shower and wash clothes immediately.
