3. Public Utility: A Public Utility procures natural gas from wholesale gas suppliers, transports that gas through interstate natural gas pipelines, and then distributes that gas though it natural gas distribution system from the edge of your town to your home.
They own and are responsible for maintaining the local distribution natural gas pipes and all gas meters. A Public Utility is governed by a public utility commission.
