Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. It moves silently, safely and efficiently through an extensive network of interstate pipelines in the United States, and Northern's pipeline is a part of that network.
Below are some reassuring facts about natural gas:
Natural gas pipelines are the safest method of transporting energy. They lie underground, virtually unseen as they deliver large volumes of gas to their customers. Although Northern follows strict pipeline safety procedures, it is still important for everyone living and working near gas pipelines to know basic safety information. Also, pipelines are part of the critical infrastructure of the United States energy grid. While pipeline companies and employees across the nation are on a heightened state of alert, we continue to monitor and patrol the pipelines regularly via aircraft, vehicles, and/or on foot. Please call local law enforcement if you see anything out of the ordinary in your area. Together, we can take precautions that will keep America strong.
