Pipeline Safety
 |
According to statistics from the National Transportation Safety Board, natural gas pipelines and mains are among the safest methods of transporting energy products. A greater risk to the environment and the general public exists when these products are transported by other methods. Natural gas provides about 24 percent of all the energy used in the United States, and gas utilities serve more than 60 million residential, commercial and industrial customers.
Pipelines are an essential component of our nation’s infrastructure. Each company has an integrity management plan, and you may contact them directly for more information.
Pipeline companies communicate regularly with emergency officials and work with local police and fire departments in case of an emergency. It is extremely unlikely that a hazardous leak will occur, but you should always be prepared. Our hope is to continue to be a good neighbor and provide you with information to help you avoid potentially dangerous activity near pipelines in your area. These safety guidelines will provide you with important information if you suspect a problem.
Pipeline companies take seriously the safe operation of their infrastructures which includes protecting your property and the environment. Because of this diligence, incidents are very rare.
