THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The City Gas Project, that aims supply of gas to all homes through a pipeline, will start in the first week of October. As part of this, the work of gas storage plant at Kochuveli has been completed. At present, gas filling is being done on trial basis.

The functioning of the service will begin after procuring permission from the factories department of the state government. Piped Natural Gas (PNG) will be provided to homes through piped connections. In the first phase, the connection will be provided in coastal wards like Vettukad and Shankhummugam.

In the first phase, gas connection will be provided to 10000 households in the city. A small amount of gas will be supplied to houses on an experimental basis from October 1. Then the company officials will visit the houses and give a tutorial on gas usage. Through a meter installed in the house, the gas usage can be tracked. Gas is measured in cubic meters.
