Lost and Unaccounted
for Gas
“The difference between the gas injected into a distribution system and the gas measured at customers’ meters.”

Measures to Decrease LAUFSource Company ActionPipe Leaks -Pipeline Integrity Program
-Infrastructure replacement tracker
Measurement Error -Meter testing program-Installing temperature- compensating meters-New temperature/elevation policy in 2010
Third-party damage -Larger penalties for line damage-Constant training of blue stakes employees
Stolen Gas -Tamper proof meters-Automated checks in billing system (usage on inactive meters, etc)
