¹ Before 2005 inclusive, those cities and towns have been regarded as supplied with (natural and liquefied) gas that had at least 100 gasified apartments; while urban-type communities should have at least 50 apartments and rural-type communities at least 10 apartments. Since 2006, the inhabited localities gasified with the natural gas are those where at least one of the consumers uses the natural gas directly from the gas pipe for the communal-general needs; the localities gasified with the natural and liquefied gas are those where at least one consumer uses the natural gas from the gas pipe and at least one consumer uses the liquefied gas from a gas-cylinder which is serviced by a gas-handling facility, and the localities gasified with the liquefied gas are those where at least one consumer uses the liquefied gas.
