Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our 6th Annual 05K Nickel Dash in East Toledo. It was great event! Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur also recognized ETFC for 125 years of service to our community. Here some photos of the event.

Community Notice: Planned Maintenance on October 6/7

We want to give our neighbors advance notice of planned maintenance at our propane loading rack near the intersection of Patchen and Pickle Roads on Tuesday, October 6 and Wednesday, October 7.

As part of this work, our team will be performing maintenance on equipment used to add odorant to propane. During the work, there is a possibility that some residents in the surrounding area may notice a mercaptan odor, which is the distinctive smell associated with propane.

While the odor may be noticeable, we want our neighbors to know that this is planned and controlled maintenance and does not represent an emergency situation.

We are sharing this information in advance so our community knows what to expect. The work is expected to be limited in duration, and our team will be monitoring the activity throughout the process.

Thank you for your understanding as we complete this planned maintenance.
