Abstract: The Wisconsin Natural Gas Company service territory is located south and west of the city of Milwaukee and in the Appleton area of Wisconsin (Exhibit 1). Our service territory covers 1,970 square miles. We operate 8,600 miles of main and have approximately 703 employees. We provide service to 272,000 customers. Our service territory is broken into six operating districts, each with its own service center. Wisconsin Natural belongs to Diggers Hotline, the one-call system for owners of underground facilities in the state of Wisconsin. For the most part, we perform our own locating activities from each of our district offices. The requests for locates are received from Diggers Hotline and transferred electronically to each of the district offices and then manually given to the field locators. Emergency locates are handled by radio dispatch. Normally, we have between 8-25 employees involved on a full-time basis in locating activities. In 1991. we completed 93,000 locate requests at a cost of 1.5 million.
