meter capable of increased deliverability to the Public Service Company

delivery point will provide system supply to the Pueblo West area.
    It is asserted that PSCo is currently entitled under existing 
agreements to receive up to 985 Dt of natural gas per day at 175 psig,

of natural gas per day to PSCo at 275 psig. CIG further states that the 
proposed increased volumes will be within PSCo's existing entitlements. 
CIG estimates the proposed upgrade will cost approximately $18,000.
