Location Spotlight – Sandstone, MN

One-Stop for Customers’ Propane Needs

Since 1969, Federated customers in Pine, Kanabec, and Aitkin Counties of Minnesota have been getting propane from our Sandstone propane location. In 1992, we added an office building at 614 Highway 123 West in Sandstone. We added a second 30,000-gallon storage tank in 2009. Now, we have storage for 60,000 gallons of propane and a close-by mid-winter source of propane at our railcar unloading terminal in Cambridge, MN.

What this means is that our 2,000 customers have a reliable source of propane heat throughout the coldest months of the year. Many of the smaller towns in our area do not have natural gas, so we set up propane service for them. In addition to homes, we supply clean burning propane gas heat to many churches, businesses, and public buildings.

Along with providing a reliable supply, Sandstone is focused on safety. We’re working with our customers to ensure that each has had a leak test done on their propane system within the past five years. Leak tests give our customers a feeling of comfort, knowing the system is safe at that point. Many things can happen to a propane system, so it is important to check from time to time to make sure it meets current code, does not leak, and all appliances are setup and operate correctly.

When an appliance malfunctions or a new appliance is purchased, we have a service technician on our staff who can install and repair propane appliances. We really try to be a one-stop location for all our community’s propane needs.

Five dedicated people serve the propane customers of Federated Co-ops, Inc., at Sandstone. Our office is open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Stop by and see us face-to-face or call us at 320-245-5576 (toll-free 800-909-4778).
