The City of Richmond’s DepartmentCity of Public Utilities recognizes Public Natural Gas Week through October 11:
As a member of the American Public Gas Association (APGA), the City of Richmond operates the country’s eighth largest municipally owned natural gas utility. The City joins with other APGA member utilities in this annual national observance intended to build public awareness of the benefits of having a community-owned distribution system.
The City’s natural gas utility serves 105,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in the City of Richmond, Henrico County, and portions of Chesterfield and Hanover counties.
“Natural gas is the cleanest burning and most efficient fossil fuel. It is environmentally friendly and reduces green house gas emissions by up to 29 percent. This week offers an ideal opportunity to remind current and potential natural gas customers of the benefits of natural gas,” says DPU Director Chris Beschler.
The Department of Public Utilities (DPU) invites the public to stop by a display set up in City Hall during Public Natural Gas Week to register to win a DPU prize pack. The names of two winners will be drawn on Monday, Oct. 13, 2008.
