• Gas
  West Bend Municipal Gas
  Natural gas is provided through Clayton Energy and transported to the city over Northern Gas Company lines to the city gate (TBS). The City's Natural Gas System is looped and operates at approximately 20 PSI. The system is cathodically protected which provides added protection to the wrapped steel lines. The line size and pressure indicates that the City could handle a major expansion and in such case would not constitute any inadequacies.
