Dear Co-op members. In order for us
to continue our quest to lower our
propane cost, stay independent and
grow as a group, it is necessary to
address the issue of leased tanks.
Many of us can not afford to
purchase a tank, so a leased tank
has been the only alternative. The
downside to leasing a tank is that
you pay 30 cents more for each
gallon of propane you buy. Most
importantly with a company owned
tank if the need arises to change
venders you cannot easily transition
to another propane supplier. As a
group we need to stay independent so
that our group is protected.
Because the Co-op is in the second
year of a five year contract with
Ferrellgas and because of the
uncertainty of a continuation of
that contract at the end of its
term, it is necessary to prepare. I
strongly advise every member who is
just now joining our group to
seriously assess your ability to
purchase a tank. If you are a
current member who is leasing a tank
from Ferrellgas you may want to ask
if you can purchase it or you can
purchase a tank through the Co-op
(contact us for comparison pricing
info). It is extremely rare for a
tank to need repair. Tanks purchased
through the Co-op come with a 20
year limited warranty. Tanks that
are owned by our members assure us that we
will never be in a position where a
propane company uses company owed
tanks to their advantage.
If you have questions or concerns
regarding this matter or wish to
arrange a tank purchase,
please call me at 882-5445 or email
me at
galwaycoop@aol.com
Very truly yours,
Michael Casadei, Founder
