Important safety information from Atlanta Gas Light

businesses throughout the country, Atlanta
Gas Light operates, secures and maintains
the pipelines in our service territories.
Call before you dig
Before digging on your property state law
requires you tall ail to have your utility lines
professionally marked - for free! \tou must
wait the required amount of time before
you begin your project. Pipeline markers
indicate the general 1 area of the pipeline, but
not its exact location or depth. A pipeline
may not always be marked in all areas, so
it is important to always 'Call Before You
Dig' If a pipeline right of way is adjacent to
your property, you have a responsibility to
ensure no new installations of landscaping
or physical structures are placed in the right
of way, which interferes with our ability
to keep the pipeline safe through routine
monitoring and maintenance.

If you smell gas, act fast!
Even though natural gas pipeline incidents are
uncommon, you can help prevent emergencies by
knowing the signs of a potential problem.
LOOK for blowing dirt, discolored vegetation or
continued bubbling of standing water.
LISTEN for a hissing or roaring noise near a natural
gas appliance or line.
SMELL the distinctive, rotten-egg odor associated
with natural gas. Natural gas is colorless and
odorless, so we add a chemical odorant called
mercaptan for easy detection. This odorant has a
distinctive "rotten-egg" type odor. You should act
any time you detect even a small amount of this
odor in the air.
If you suspect a natural gas leak, do the fallowing
DO NOT try to identify the source or to stop the
leak yourself,
LEAVE the area immediately and move a safe
distance away from the potential leak, while
avoiding any action that may cause sparks.
AVOID using any sources of ignition, such as
cellphones, cigarettes, matches, flashlights,
electronic devices, motorized vehicles, light
switches or landlines, as natural gas can ignite
from a spark or open flame, possibly causing a fire
or explosion. Natural gas is hOntoxif, lighter than
air and displaces oxygen. In severe cases, if not
used properly it can also lead to asphyxiation.
CALL Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427,4321 or 911
once you are out of the area of the suspected leak
and in a safe place.Stay away until Atlanta Gas
Light or emergency personnel indicate it is safe
to return.
