United Gas is producing or purchasing gas in more than 200 gas fields—
and is adding new sources of supply all the time. That’s .why we can tell
the communities and industries that are our present customers, as well as
those who are connected to our lines in the future, they can be sure of
- dependable, low-cost natural gas service from United Gas.
In a way, that’s bow the natural gas business operates, too. “Multiple sources
of supply,” we call it, but it simply means we have pipe line connections in
many different gas fields to assure natural gas service that will not fail.
