Natural gas utilities that own, lease, maintain, operate, manage and/or control the mains, pipes or other fixtures that are necessary to deliver natural gas to a retail consumer’s home or business. In areas where deregulation has occurred and unbundled natural gas service is available, local gas companies continue to provide natural gas distribution services for customers who elect to purchase their gas from an alternative supplier, but will provide the full package of bundled natural gas services for customers who do not choose direct access via such a supplier. They are responsible for processing connection orders; installing, maintaining and repairing meters and other necessary equipment; and accepting and responding to reports of gas leaks or other problems which constitute a hazard or threaten to interrupt service.
