No natural gas from the city owned or operated natural gas supply shall be turned on for service into any premises by any person but the director of public works or some person authorized by him to perform such service.
(Ordinance 1431, § 1, 5-13-08; Ordinance 1486, § 2, 12-1-09)
It shall be unlawful for any person not authorized by the city to tamper with or alter any part of the natural gas or supply system or any meter. Any person found tampering with natural gas utility property is subject to a $50.00 tampering fee in addition to any state law that may apply.
(Ordinance 1431, § 1, 5-13-08; Ordinance 1486, § 2, 12-1-09)
Deliveries of natural gas to commercial or industrial customers may be interrupted or curtailed in case of shortage, or threatened shortage, of natural gas supply from any cause whatsoever, to conserve natural gas for residential and other human need customers served hereunder, according to all mandatory orders of governmental agencies having jurisdiction.

British Thermal Unit (BTU)
means the standard unit of measurement used to measure heat energy and to convert CCFs to Therms. It is the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a pint of water (which weighs exactly 16 ounces) by one degree Fahrenheit.
CCF
means the amount of natural gas used presented in a unit of measurement applicable to natural gas (i.e. hundreds of cubic feet). CCFs used is calculated by subtracting the beginning read from the ending read.
CCFs used
means the amount of natural gas used presented in a unit of measurement applicable to natural gas (i.e. hundreds of cubic feet). CCFs used is calculated by subtracting the beginning read from the ending read.
Cubic foot (CF)
means the most common measurement of gas volume. One cubic foot is equal to the amount of natural gas required to fill one cubic foot under standard temperature and pressure. One cubic foot is approximately 1,025 British Thermal Units (BTUs). 100 Cubic Feet = 1 CCF.
MCFs used
means the amount of natural gas used pressed in a unit of measurement applicable to natural gas (i.e. thousands of cubic feet). MCFs used is calculated by subtracting the beginning read from the ending read.
Natural gas
means the energy fuel is a mixture of naturally occurring combustible gases found underground and is widely used for heating and cooking, as well as for a variety of industrial applications.
