Did you know more than 50 percent of outside natural gas leaks are caused by digging or construction that disturbs natural gas pipelines? Even minor damage, such as a nick, scrape, or dent in a pipeline or its coating, can weaken the pipeline and lead to a future leak.
Since 2008, April has been designated National Safe Digging Month, and in an effort to reduce excavation damage, Atmos Energy joins the Common Ground Alliance (CGA) to encourage homeowners, contractors, and any professional excavator to keep communities safe by calling 811 before any digging project.
