Summary
Philadelphia Gas Works
enterprise legacy
PGWORKS is the network of Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW), the natural gas utility serving the city of Philadelphia and the largest municipally owned gas utility in the United States.
What it's used for
Utility enterprise networking. Two /24s carry PGW's business and operational systems: customer billing and service, field operations support, and the utility's public-facing web presence for its roughly half-million customer accounts.
Notable
PGW is owned by the City of Philadelphia and operated under contract, which puts it in an unusual category: a municipal asset run like a corporation. Its network is registered and behaves like an enterprise one, not like a city government network.
Interesting
Critical-infrastructure operators like gas and water utilities tend to keep a deliberately small and boring internet footprint. Two /24s and no fuss is exactly the profile you would want from the people who deliver gas to a million and a half residents.
