Section 46-4-31. Adoption by commission of rules and orders to enforce article

   The commission is authorized to adopt such rules and orders as it may deem necessary in the enforcement of this article. Without limiting its authority to adopt rules and orders in general, the commission may by such rules and orders determine not only the locations or territories to be served but also the volumes of gas to be sold by pipelines direct to consumers. The commission may also define what territories are contiguous to others.
