Good question. Propane on the place would be my answer for assurance, but I would think that they would have gas powered pumps or generators set up in the network as a fail safe.
Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every living creature that moves on the ground. Genesis 1:28 The Lord God used animal skins and made some clothes for the man and his wife. Then he put the clothes on them. Genesis 3:21So take your bow and arrows and go hunting and kill an animal for me to eat. Genesis 27:3

That would be my thought as well.
You can't beat propane as far as I'm concerned. You can stockpile that for a long long time and it doesn't go bad like gasoline. I have some propane bottles that came from a 1973 camper and the gas is still good in it. Someday I hope to have a propane powered generator for backup if ever needed.

The way things are going, I should look into running my truck on propane. I saw 3.59 today
Every time there's a problem somewhere the gas goes up. Bunch of bulls**t going on in Egypt - the gas goes up. Now an uprising in Libya - there goes the gas prices.
Sorry Patricimo if I'm getting off topic but it's because I'm getting bent on the way our country is run. What a fricken OBAMAnation we have on our hands

Our 87 octane went to $3.25 today. I am thinking it is time to make sure your food stores are laid up.

I do have to admit that I'm much more concerned with the increasing gas prices now than I ever was in the past. I fear that this time around they will continue to soar and cause a s**tstorm ripple effect that will put America on its knees. I've never felt this degree of concern before and not real sure where it's coming from. There's no logic to how our country is run. If we can make fuel from corn and we want to cut our dependence on foreign oil, and theres all this farmland up here that isn't''t farmed, AND small farms are going under... then why in hell is the govt STILL paying people to NOT grow corn?
Wouldn't ENCOURAGING corn growth in our country fuel the economy for these rural areas, while making more food and fuel for our country?
The gov't talks a good story about encouraging the world to go green but when it comes down to making sense of it and doing things logistically, they don't know how to handle it.
There are corn stoves that burn corn, pellet stoves and multi fuel stoves that burn corn, bio diesel and other fuels made from corn, not to mention all the food products. From burning corn, people could heat their house, their water and cook food and we could fuel our own economy with the production of corn. But NO, We just continue on our dependence of foreign oil because our govt can't think outside the box.
Clay, my insider at the gas company says no fear of Natural gas supply disruption due to power loss. Back up generators fed by gravity flow gas will kick on to continue flow.
If an on site well feeds a dwelling, gas does not need pumped it is gravity flow.

The Size of your Success can be Measured by the Strength of your Desire !!!
There is a difference between INTEREST and COMMITMENT. When you are INTERESTED in something you do it only when it is CONVIENIENT. When you are COMMITED to something you ACCEPT NO EXCUSES and PRODUCE ONLY RESULTS.
I will meet you on your Turf...But it will be on My TERMS!!!
