NATURAL GAS:

Getting natural gas service

If the natural gas line has already been installed to the business or residence in which service is sought, a deposit is required to start service. Deposits are paid at the Iberville Utility Department office. A picture ID is required, along with the physical address, to make a deposit. Deposits are $75 for residences and $100 for commercial businesses.

If a natural gas line must be installed, the cost is $200 for residences, and $300 for commercial businesses. This fee covers up to 60 feet of line. Additional footage required to establish service beyond 60 feet is billed at a rate of $1 per foot, and is billed after service is installed.
