Gas services restored at Charles Page High School

Gas services have officially been restored to Charles Page High School following an extensive effort to install new gas lines and meters.

According to a statement from the district, “Oklahoma Natural Gas was able to complete the gas meter installation and our contractor was able to connect the new gas line to the meter. ONG completed a substantial amount of testing, and has now resumed gas service to Charles Page High School. Approximately 80% of the heaters will be turned on tonight.”

The school has been without central heat throughout the school year, a problem that reached its peak in the past 48 hours with outside daytime temperatures below 50 degrees. The district attempted to offset the conditions with space-heaters and stated Wednesday that classroom temperatures never dipped below 60 degrees.
