gas distribution
Pipeline network system
Gas distribution is the system and process of transporting natural gas or other fuel gases from transmission pipelines to end users such as homes, businesses, and industrial facilities.
This involves a network of smaller-diameter pipes, pressure regulators, meters, and service lines that deliver gas at reduced pressures suitable for consumption.
Utilities responsible for this infrastructure are often called gas distribution companies or local distribution companies.
The gas distribution network serves over two million customers in the metropolitan area.
