WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS TO CONSIDER FUEL SYSTEM FOR EMS HANGAR
A fuel system for the Washington County EMS helicopter hangar behind the Washington Volunteer Fire Department will be considered by county commissioners on Monday.
According to EMS Director Kevin Deramus, the hangar has been receiving fuel via a 500 gallon trailer. To increase the amount of fuel on hand before needing to resupply, and to be able to purchase fuel using less expensive bulk rates, he is looking to implement a 2,000 gallon fuel system that more or less acts as “a gas station at the hangar.”
Deramus said the project is $41,000 and meets the guidelines to be funded through the American Rescue Plan Act.
In other action, commissioners will look to approve a contract with W-Industries for the generator project at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
Also in court Monday, commissioners will consider:
- Proclamations to declare October 27th as Think Pink Thursday and the month of October as Polish Heritage Month.
- Approving the county engineer to advertise for sealed bids for the removal of salvaged bridge material from the job site and yard stockpile.

- Authorizing procurement of administrative and engineering services for the Community Development Block Grant Regional COG Method of Distribution administered through the Texas General Land Office.
