Pipeline Awareness

It is crucial to be aware of natural gas pipelines as they could be present in your neighborhood or even on your property, despite being underground and often unseen.

One of the simplest and most effective methods to identify the location of a pipeline is by observing pipeline markers. Pikeville Natural Gas, a reputable pipeline company, ensures the visibility of these markers by prominently displaying them in a vibrant yellow color. These markers serve as informative signposts placed strategically at various points along the pipeline’s designated path, such as road crossings or railroads. By doing so, Pikeville Natural Gas aims to promote safety and awareness for those in the vicinity.

The markers themselves play a crucial role in providing essential information to the public. They proudly display the name and logo of the pipeline company, allowing individuals to quickly identify the responsible entity. Furthermore, they also feature important telephone numbers that can be used to contact a representative from the company. This ensures that anyone who may have questions or concerns about the pipeline can easily reach out to the appropriate authorities.

By employing this comprehensive marker system, Pikeville Natural Gas strives to maintain transparency and open lines of communication with the communities they serve. Recognizing the significance of these markers, individuals can rest assured that they are in the immediate vicinity of a pipeline and have access to the necessary information for any potential inquiries. Ultimately, the presence of these markers contributes to a safer and more informed environment for all those who reside near or interact with the pipeline right-of-way.

If there is a pipeline crossing your property, it is crucial to have the relevant information in the title report and property plat. These documents should clearly indicate the pipeline easement, which is the agreement between you and the pipeline company that grants them the necessary access to construct, operate, and maintain the pipeline. It is important to note that if a pipeline runs across your property, the right-of-way should always be kept free of structures and trees. These restrictions are in place to ensure safety and prevent any interference with the pipeline’s integrity. If you require further details or have any questions regarding the pipeline on your property, please do not hesitate to reach out to us for additional information.
