Electric power services (by all fuel sources) include generation, transmission, control, distribution services, and marketing and brokering. Additionally, water and sewage services are included. Gas production and distribution includes natural gas distribution, marketers, brokers, transportation, storage and mixed petroleum gas. Water and sewage services include water, steam, and air conditioning supply systems, irrigation and sewage systems. Establishments that provide primarily waste management services are not included in the UT sector. They are classified in sector 56, Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services, because they do not typically use permanent sewer or treatment infrastructures.
