Industrial Gas Services
Local industry consumes 87 percent of the natural gas supplied by Dalton Utilities. Our gas customers are divided into two categories: Tariff Service customers and Transportation Gas customers.
Tariff Service customers buy their gas directly from Dalton Utilities. Our rate for tariff service customers is calculated using a "floating index" which reflects the monthly index price for natural gas. A nominal charge is added to this rate to cover transmission and distribution costs incurred by the Utility.
Transportation Gas customers purchase their natural gas from the well head or from gas marketers. In turn, this gas is transported to the Dalton City Gate. Dalton Utilities charges these customers a transportation fee only.
Transportation Gas service is available to any regular industrial gas customer whose daily requirements are in excess of 50 Mcf per day. In order to take advantage of this service, the customer must maintain a fully operational alternate fuel system capable of supplying 100% of their fuel requirements.
