The City of Douglas observed national Natural Gas Utility Workers’ Day on March 18, 2022. This is the seventh year in which Natural Gas Utility Workers’ Day has been officially celebrated across the country. This day of recognition is a time when communities give recognition to the employees who provide a valuable utility asset—natural gas. Safety is a vital aspect to natural gas distribution and the employees of distribution companies endeavor to make natural gas delivery as safe as possible.
Since 1962, the Natural Gas Department has been supplying natural gas in the city and Coffee County. The responsibilities of the Natural Gas Department employees are to conduct a variety of surveys and inspections including leak surveys, regular station inspections, valve inspections and yearly safety inspections. The department supplies natural gas to 22 Industrial Interruptible Customers, 288 Commercial Customers, 832 Residential Customers, and 21 Agricultural Customers.
The City of Douglas Natural Gas Department looks forward to continuing to bring safe, reliable natural gas into homes and businesses. If you would like to learn more about the benefits of natural gas and how your natural gas system works, please contact us at (912)389-3427.
