oil, propane or kerosene. Fortunately, natural gas is the largest source
of energy produced in North America and it remains plentiful and
affordable. |

Perham Natural Gas Coverage Area |
|||||
 Approximately
99% of the natural gas used in the United States comes from North America.
Gas is released by drilling holes into rocks. Once the gas is processed it
is moved through the 2 million-mile underground delivery system. The gas
is kept moving by compression, with pressure regulated at pumping
stations. Once the natural gas reaches the City of Perham, it is
transferred into large main lines and fed into smaller services lines at
reduced pressure. These service lines are connected to individual gas
meters at residential, commercial and industrial locations. |
