Rangely Gas Department
Location
The Town of Rangely Gas Department is somewhat unique compared to other natural gas companies, in that there are only a few municipalities that operate their own gas company in Colorado. Over the years our community has received many benefits that a privately owned gas company may not have been able to provide, especially in the areas of customer service and overall price paid for gas.
The Town Council can react to market changes much more quickly than a company that must seek approval form the Public Utility Commission to adjust rates. Personalized service, quick response to calls, numerous services provided at minimal or no cost, and scheduled main/service replacement at no cost to the homeowner are additional benefits we have. Generous rebates have been received by many of our customers when conversions from another energy source to natural gas occurred. The Gas Departments budget contributes a substantial amount in dollars to the WARM Program (assistance goes directly to our customers).
Although we are a small gas distribution company we operate under most of the same rules and regulations and do much of the same work as a company in the private sector. The safety of our community, the reliability of gas supply, and to provide competitive rates are of most importance.
