This is a 66% increase in the net plant in service over a five-year period. These <br /> investments were necessaw to maintain the safety and reliability of the system. Much <br /> of the investment was to replace pipe and other facilities that had reached the end of <br /> their service lives. The investments were also made in response to the rapid <br /> economic growth in our service area, which required the replacement of pipe as <br /> development encroached on high pressure lines, relocations of pipe as roads and <br /> freeways were built or expanded, and extensions of pipe and increases in capacity as <br /> the population expanded into outlying areas. <br /> <br />OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE EXPENDITURES <br /> <br /> Despite the rapid growth in the economy and the increased capital investment, <br /> TXU Gas has been able to closely control its operating and maintenance (O&M) <br /> expenses.

This rote <br /> case contains several adjustments reflecting additional steps that have been taken to <br /> reduce O&M after the close of the recent calendar year.

We have simplified our <br /> approach so that it will be much easier for our customers and our regulators to <br /> understand our business.
