It's a gas

Bruce Crosby/McCook Daily Gazette

A crew performs "directional boring" to install a new gas service line to the Red Willow County Courthouse. SourceGas is working in downtown McCook to replace mains and service lines that are up to 60 years old, according to Steve Haag, McCook division manager. The new gas main line will be 24 to 30 inches underground, while the new service lines will be 12 to 18 inches deep. Directional boring allows for a minimal amount of disturbance to the surface concrete.
