Safety First: A Priority in Natural Gas

In fact, natural gas pipelines transport approximately one-fourth of the energy consumed in the United States and is delivered to customers through over 3 million miles of piping. We conscientiously monitor and maintain our pipeline systems to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas to your home. Summit Utilities works diligently to ensure pipeline safety and reliability through a variety of ways, including inspection programs, public education, pipeline markers, facility mapping, surveys, patrolling, pressure monitoring, odorization, and liaison with public officials.
