Natural Gas service is delivered to your property through a buried network of gas mains located in streets, alleys, and right-of-ways, connected to a service line on your property up to your home or business. To avoid serious accidents which can occur when gas lines are punctured or broken, you should know where gas service lines are located if you plan to excavate or build.

BY LAW, dwellings, garages, enclosed porches or other buildings MAY NOT BE CONSTRUCTED OVER GAS LINES! For safety, gas lines must be accessible for routine inspection and maintenance.

BEFORE you begin any sewer or water line repairs, make changes to your foundation or additions to your home or business, build fences, plant trees, pour a patio or driveway, or plan any excavations requiring deep holes or trenches on your property.

811 is the new nation wide line locating contact number that will connect you to the correct state based on your telephone number. You may still contact each individual state listed below.

If you do hit a gas line, even if only the pipe coating is affected, please call Great Plains. Someone will inspect and repair any damage immediately. The pipe coating provides corrosion protection and damage to this layer may cause a future leak. IF YOU HIT A GAS LINE, NEVER COVER OR BACKFILL IT UNTIL INSPECTION HAS BEEN MADE BY GREAT PLAINS!

Contact your local Great Plains Office.
