California to get another CNG station

Another compressed natural gas (CNG) station will soon rise in California, the U.S. state with most CNG stations, after Los Angeles-based waste-collection company Athens Services recently partnered with Love's Trillium CNG for the construction, development, and maintenance of the station.

The private station, located at 12355 Montague Street in Pacoima, is scheduled to be complete this fall and will provide CNG fuel to approximately 110 Athens Services refuse trucks.

The company operates 229 CNG vehicles in various cities.

“Partnering with Trillium to build a new CNG station was needed for Athens to provide the best service to certain zones in the city of Los Angeles,” said Marty Mitchell, director of maintenance for Athens Services, in a company release.

There are more than 320 public and private CNG stations in the Golden State.
