Public Natural Gas Week 2025, observed from October 5–11, is a nationwide event organized by the American Public Gas Association (APGA) to raise awareness about the value of publicly owned natural gas systems. For cities across Kansas that are KMGA members, many of which own and operate their own systems, this week serves as a timely reminder of the strength and reliability of local energy solutions.

Community and publicly- and-owned natural gas utilities operate as not-for-profit entities, focused on delivering essential energy services—not profits and we’re proud to be part of this mission. Public natural gas systems are governed by the communities they serve, allowing for decisions that prioritize affordability and service reliability.

Public Natural Gas Week is a chance to reflect on the essential service these systems provide and to recognize the dedication of the municipal teams who ensure safe and consistent delivery year-round
