City of Rock Hill's CNG Station Open for Business




Rock Hill, SC - The City of Rock Hill, a Carolina Blue Skies and Green Jobs partner, held a day long "Open House" on November 1st where the City unveiled it's new Operations Center, as well as a brand new fast fill, compressed natural gas (CNG) station.





The CNG station is open to the public and is available 24/7 for fill ups. The City will also use the station for its fleet of CNG vehicles. “We’ve been using CNG in our vehicles for years and have never had any issues with it. We love using CNG because it saves our citizens money and doesn’t pollute like our old diesel trucks did” said Marty Burr, performance manager for the City of Rock Hill.





The City of Rock Hill received ARRA funds through the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities program to fund a CNG station, E85 and biodiesel pumps and convert three additional vehicles to run on CNG.
