Natural Gas Safety

If You Smell Gas

In its natural state, natural gas is both colorless and odorless. For your safety, a chemical ingredient is added which smells like rotten eggs. This unpleasant odor is for your protection in the event of a gas leak.If you suspect a gas leak, check your pilot lights or see if a burner valve has been left partially on. If you can’t find the source, open windows and doors to disperse the gas and call St Joe Natural Gas Company at 229-8216 or after hours at 340-1766.

 

Call Before You Dig

If you are planning to install a pool, fence or any other type of construction on your property remember that Florida law states excavators MUST call to get underground utility lines marked at a dig site prior to digging.

To determine the location of Natural Gas and other utility service lines in Florida, call Sunshine State One toll-free by dialing 811. Check with your contractor prior to excavation because, as a homeowner, YOU may be responsible for making that call.
