Owatonna Utilities receives natural gas from a number of supply wells located in the United States and Canada delivered via the Northern Natural Gas Company pipeline. Two large taps on Northern's line ensure reliability and capacity for growth. In addition, a propane peak shaving plant provides additional supply on peak demand days and helps keep natural gas costs low for the community's residents and businesses.

EXCESS FLOW VALVE - OPU does install excess flow vavles on all new residential gas service lines being served off of any gas main of 12PSI or greater. The excess flow valve limits the release of natural gas in the event of damage to the service line or meter set.
