Natural gas is also used in industry to heat businesses, generate electricity, and manufacture plastics and other synthetic materials. Natural gas is measured in cubic feet, a volume unit.
Gas meters measure the amount of gas used in cubic feet.
The Gas Utility reads meters on homes and other buildings to know how much to charge each user for the gas they consume. Natural gas or methane has no odor. Colorado Springs Utilities Gas Department adds an odorant called mercaptan to natural gas so that consumers can smell a leak. Use your back arrow to return. Think about Mercaptan.
