What do I do if I notice a leak?

What to do if you notice a pipeline leak

  • Avoid open flames or other sources of ignition. Do not light a match and do not start or attempt to restart motor vehicles or electrical equipment near the suspected leak.
  • Evacuate the area by foot and warn others to stay away from the area.
  • Turn off and abandon vehicles and equipment in the immediate area.
  • Do not attempt to extinguish a natural gas fire. Call public safety and law enforcement officials.
  • Do not attempt to operate any pipeline valves. You may inadvertently route additional gas to the leak.

Are pipeline markers always placed on top of the pipeline?

  • From a safe location, immediately notify us toll free at 1-877-258-3219 to report the leak. Please give your name, location and description of the leak.
  • If the pipeline company is not known, call 911 or contact your local public safety officials and advise them of the location and nature of the situation.
