CLEARWATER – The City Council on Jan. 14 unanimously gave the Clearwater Gas System the go-ahead to build a compressed natural gas filling station on Hercules Avenue, next to the Clearwater Airpark.

CGS will pay $750,000 of the $1.2 million cost, and a grant will cover the rest.

It is estimated that each CNG garbage truck will save $18,300 in fuel costs compared to a similar truck with a diesel engine.
