Any person, firm or municipality aggrieved by reason of the refusal by a common carrier of natural gas to purchase or transport natural gas produced by such person or firm or gas production owned by said municipality may file a complaint before the Corporation Commission. The Corporation Commission shall conduct a hearing and take evidence as is necessary to determine the complaint. Notice shall be given to the common carrier at least ten (10) days prior to such hearing. The Corporation Commission shall order the common carrier to purchase or transport the natural gas, and fix a fair rate for such transportation, unless the common carrier establishes and the Commission determines that:
1. Such natural gas cannot reasonably be carried by the named common carrier, because of the difficulty or expense involved;
2. Some other common carrier of natural gas can more conveniently purchase or transport such natural gas; or
3. The gas might dilute or pollute the gas being carried in their line.
