In addition to Customer Service Week and Public Power Week, Memphis Light, Gas and Water is also taking part in Public Natural Gas Week from October 6 to 12. The annual observance builds awareness about the value of having a community-owned natural gas utility.

There are multiple benefits to publicly owned natural gas utilities.

 They are locally controlled. Decisions are made through citizen participation by customers who understand local issues.

 Costs remain competitive. Public natural gas utilities do not face pressure to pay stockholders.

 Publicly owned natural gas utilities positively impact local economies by providing jobs and keeping local dollars at home.

 There’s a bigger focus on customer service. Public natural gas systems are integral parts of a community.

MLGW looks forward to continuing to bring safe, reliable natural gas into your homes and businesses at low rates (see our Comparative Rate Survey at mlgw.com/ratesurvey). As the cleanest burning fossil fuel, natural gas can help us achieve energy security and build a more competitive economy.
