That is not acceptable,” the company's statement read, adding that Atmos will work with regulators to address the issues. On Dec. 23, the Texas Railroad Commission confirmed to The Texas Tribune that it was aware of Atmos’ “localized low-pressure issues,” which they attributed to extremely high demand during the dip in temperatures, and said the company’s customer call center was open.
