Unlike some fossil fuels, however, natural gas is clean burning and emits lower levels of potentially harmful byproducts into the air. We require energy constantly, to heat our homes, cook our food, and generate our electricity. It is this need for energy that has elevated natural gas to such a level of importance in our societyand in our lives. Riviera Utilities has firm gas purchase contracts with BP Prior Energy and also receives some locally-produced gas. The Gas Department directly serves customers in Foley, Magnolia Springs, Summerdale, Elberta, Miflin, Gulf Shores, Silverhill and Loxley. Additionally, Riviera supplies wholesale natural gas to the municipalities of Robertsdale, and Clark/Mobile Counties Gas District in Orange Beach Alabama.

Gas Savings Tips
There are a number of ways to save money on your gas bill. Below are a few suggestions to help you conserve gas.
1
Gas savings can be increased by using less hot water, turning down the thermostat, and insulating the gas water heating unit.
2
When cooking with gas put the cover over the pans and use only as much flame as necessary (Remember that slightly boiling water cooks foods at the same temperature as water that is rapidly boiling).
3
When cooking with gas, preheat only when necessary. Don't preheat for meats and casseroles and use your exhaust fan sparingly.
4
When you have a gas water heater, try taking a shower instead of a bath. A bath can use 15 - 25 gallons of hot water compared to the 10 gallons used for a 5 minute shower.
