While Colorado Springs Utilities does not own or manage any gathering systems, we feel it’s important for you to have a complete understanding of the gas delivery system.

Natural gas comes from underground deposits and is accessed through wells. The natural gas moves from a well through gathering system pipelines. After the raw gas is collected, pipelines transport it from the wellhead to a processing plant. They are usually low-pressure pipelines, but in some cases, they may be higher-pressure lines.
