  • What's My Financial Responsibility for My Gas Line?
    Natural gas travels through miles of pipeline and regulating stations to reach your home. Peoples is responsible for surveys, safety inspections, and emergency investigations for gas lines inside and outside of your home. When one of these activities results in a failure or a leak on the customer’s portion of the gas lines inside or outside of your home — which are the customer service line, house line, and gas appliances — it is the customer’s responsibility to schedule those repairs with a qualified installer and to cover the cost of those repairs. Learn more about your financial responsibility for your gas lines on our What Should I Know? page.
