DAYTON — Bids have opened for the construction of natural gas service lines in the Tongue River Valley.

The project, which will consist of constructing one-inch and two-inch service lines, will connect houses, schools and businesses in Dayton and Ranchester with the recently constructed natural gas pipeline, according to Peter Clark, mayor of Ranchester and chairman of the Tongue River Valley Joint Powers Board.
