The next APGA Salary Survey will take place in 2026. The survey will collect salaries of both management and non-management personnel working for public gas systems. Participating APGA members will receive a free copy of the results.
The APGA Salary Survey has been collected and distributed for over 20 years. Starting in 2019, APGA made significant changes to the salary survey after consultation with members to improve participation, and in turn produce more accurate and meaningful results. The revamped survey reduced the number of job titles to minimize confusion and combined the management and non-management surveys to streamline the collection process. It also moved to a biennial survey.
A list of position descriptions from the 2024 Salary Survey is available online here. Not all positions included on this survey may match yours exactly since each system has different job titles for different functions. Therefore, you must evaluate where your system’s job positions fit into these categories.
All information received will be kept confidential. APGA did not retain a professional third-party to seek, obtain and verify the data. APGA does not follow-up with members to verify for accuracy. The results of this survey, which relies upon the voluntary submissions from members, simply represents the average salaries reported by those members who choose to participate.
While not recommended to be the primary source for making staffing or personnel decisions, the APGA Salary Survey is an important tool for members to use to determine if they are in the market or if a more accurate salary survey may be needed.
