Natural Gas – Economical and Safe

During the late 1940s, Dalton's carpet industry found it needed an economical alternative to electrical energy to dry carpet and cure latex. Dalton Utilities took the initiative and lobbied the Federal Power Commission for permission to obtain a natural gas connection. In 1952, permission was granted, and a 42-mile long transmission line was constructed to the Southern Natural Gas Company's supply line in Rome.

Today, Dalton Utilities has one of the largest municipal natural gas distribution systems in Georgia. We work hard to keep our gas system both safe and reliable to meet the needs of a growing community and our local industry.

The Utilities Protection Center of Georgia awarded Dalton Utilities the first “UPC Damage Prevention Advocate Award” ever given to a company. Recognized for our expertise and quality service in natural gas, Pipeline & Gas Journal has twice named Dalton Utilities one of the "Top 300 Gas Distribution Utilities."
