Improving our records, emergency response and maintenance
We're using GPS technology in your neighborhood
GPS technology is used for more than driving directions; it’s helping us improve our records, emergency response and maintenance of our service lines. We use GPS units to measure the location of our natural gas lines within inches. Understanding the exact location of underground facilities prevents damages typically caused by unsafe digging practices.
This work will not require digging or entry into homes or businesses, and your natural gas service will not be affected by the project. The GPS equipment may be mounted on a tripod or on a wheel, with a GPS receiver at the top. A technician will use a keypad to enter data on located gas lines.
Our contractors, GridHawk and UtiliQuest, may need to return over a few days to complete this GPS work.
