As a local distribution company, Colorado Springs Utilities manages the natural gas supply and the distribution system required to physically deliver natural gas to customers.

Our Natural Gas Integrated Resource Plan (GIRP) is intended to ensure that both the commodity (gas supply) and the capacity (distribution system) are adequate to provide safe, reliable and cost effective natural gas service to our customers for a ten year period.

Quick facts:

Colorado Springs Utilities gas service territory is approximately 500 square miles and serves approximately 184,000 customers.

In addition to the City, the service area includes Manitou Springs, the Academy, the northerly portion of Fort Carson and unincorporated portions of the County.

The Gas System purchases gas under contracts with a variety of gas suppliers including nationwide marketing companies as well as national and regional production companies.

CIG transports the purchased natural gas supplies to our distribution facilities pursuant to various firm, interruptible and “no notice” transportation agreements.
