Gas LInes East Bay - Natural Gas Lines - East Bay Gas Lines

Utilities companies jobs are to ensure the safe reliable delivery of natural gas to your home or business. They operate and maintain an extensive network of pipeline, which includes miles of natural gas pipeline beneath city’s streets, sidewalks and yards.

Customer safety is our top priority, especially when it comes to keeping your home or business safe from the potential dangers of natural gas.

What are you responsible for?
Owning a home or business comes with a number of maintenance responsibilities. We understand that some of these responsibilities may even come as a surprise to you.

Customers are responsible for the maintenance of all natural gas lines extending after the meter to and within the home or business. Even though, in some cases, the natural gas service lines that run from the meter to your home or business are buried, maintenance is still required.

Our natural gas system is governed by Federal regulations which recommend that customers with natural gas lines buried from the meter to the primary structure should be:

• Periodically inspected for leaks;
• Periodically inspected for corrosion if the piping is metallic; and
• Repaired if any unsafe condition is discovered.

If natural gas lines are not properly maintained, they may be subject to potential hazards of corrosion and leakage. While the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations do not require that you inspect or maintain your natural gas service line, Utilities companies along with the DOT recommend that you periodically inspect them for corrosion and leaks.
