Acquired by the Town in 1923, Easton's Gas Department is the only municipal gas utility in the state today. Originally, Easton's gas was derived by burning coal at a plant on West Street. However, Easton Utilities converted to natural gas in 1966 when it signed an agreement to purchase its gas supply from Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company.

The town's gas supply is now piped from the Gulf of Mexico along the interstate pipleline, through Federalsburg, and then distributed to over 4,500 customers through 38 miles of steel and plastic mains. The Gas Department distributes an average of 1,200,000 cubic feet of natural gas per day to the Easton residents living in its 8.5 square-mile service territory.
