From the early days, gas utilities measured and sold gas by volume. Most gas meters have 4 digits, the smallest of which shows 100 cubic feet, or one CCF.

All fuel prices increased dramatically in the 1970's. Many gas pipelines and utilities switched to selling gas on the basis of heating value. One British Thermal Unit (or BTU) is the amount of heat needed to raise one pound (pint) of water by 1° F. One BTU is about the energy produced by burning a wooden match.

An electrical meter shows kilowatt-hours but there isn't a practical way to directly measure the potential energy of gas. Gas utilities measure volume and calculate heating value.

LATE PAYMENTS AND ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS:

Walden Gas considers any payment made after the 5th of each month late and will be subject to the $20.00 late fee.

Walden Gas customers can apply for the 'Energy Assistance Program' (EAP) through the State of Wyoming to receive assistance in paying their propane bills with Walden Gas. Once a customer applies, the EAP will call and verify with Walden Gas that the customer has an active account, as well as the customer's pertinent information. If a customer is approved, Walden Gas will accept any and all payments from the EAP.  If a person is unable to qualify through the EAP and is unable to stay current with bill payments, Walden Gas will work with the customer to make payment arrangements.
