Saco is unique in different ways, but one thing that makes it so unique is that town owns its own natural gas distribution system, including the wells that supply the gas. Saco sits in the middle of the Bowdoin natural gas field, one of the state’s most prolific gas producing areas.

The Bowdoin Gas Field is located in the rolling prairie lands of north central Montana and extends in length for over forty eight miles. The Bowdoin Field is the second largest gas field in Montana with over 1,200 wells and cumulative production to date exceeding 500 BCF of natural gas. Saco’s natural gas  provided to businesses and citizens are probably the lowest utilities that you will find anywhere.
