Natural Gas
Awareness & Safety
The City of Kings Mountain owns and operates a natural gas system that
provides service to industrial, commercial and residential customers in and
‘around the city: limits of Kings Mountain for use in manufacturing, space
heating, water heating and cooking.
Kings Mountain’s Natural gas pipelines quietly, reliably and efficiently de-
liver natural gas throughout the country for domestic and industrial use. As
part. of the greater industry’s 2.3 million miles of natural gas and liquid
pipelines, Kings Mountain operates a natural gas distribution system that
safely delivers large quantities of energy to fuel the economy and keep us
warm every day. Pipelines are the safest and most cost effective way of de-
livering energy in existence. The City of Kings Mountain would like to inform
residents about the accident prevention efforts that are undertaken to main-
tain the excellent pipeline safety record of the industry. Kings Mountain in-
spects mains and services that are excavated as well as monitors
above-ground piping for corrosion. They apply and monitor corrosion pre-
vention measures to prevent steel from deteriorating below ground and they
regularly patrol surface conditions for hazards to the pipelines. They also
use leak detection equipment that can detect the tiniest quantities of gas to
determine whether a leak may exist below ground. Equipment is inspected
and maintained regularly as well, including below-ground emergency valves.
In its ‘natural’ state, natural gas is colorless and odorless. The natural gas
received by the City of Kings Mountain is mixed with an odorant so it is eas-
ierto recognize a natural gas pipeline release. The odorant added to the
natural gas gives the gas a distinctive smell, often described as “rotten egg”.
The City monitors the existence of this odorant to ensure its presence.
Accidental releases of gas do occasionally occur, and in addition to the
distinctive smell, other indications of a release may be a hissing, roaring
sound, or blowing of dirt or dust. Persistent bubbles in water or pools of lig-
uid with possible bubbling can also indicate a pipeline leak. If you smell,
see, or hear any indications of a possible natural gas leak, please call the
City of Kings Mountain at 704-734-4516 or emergency officials at 911 im-
If there is an unintended release of gas, the main hazard is the chance of
fire or explosion. If you have a gas release situation, immediately walk away,
warning others to stay away or leave the area. Extinguish all sources of igni-
tion such as, open flames, cell phones, pagers, motor vehicles or any other
item that may cause a spark or static discharge. From a safe location con-
tact the City of Kings Monniain at the number listed above or the emergency
The leading cause.of adn) releases of gas is due to damage of a
below ground line by someone performing excavation or earth moving. The
“NC 811” system was set up to help prevent this hazard. If you dig, please
dial 811 or toll-free 1-800-632-4949 or log on to the website
http://www2.ncocc. org/ncocc/default. htm to request a location of under-
ground utilities. The North Carolina STATE LAW requires that excavators
give at least 2 Day Notice prior to excavation.
If you have any other questions or concerns about the City’s natural gas system,
pipeline safety, or how to recognize or report a pipeline leak please give our office a
