Customer Owned Piping

Customer Notification 192.16 requires that we notify you regarding buried gas piping beyond our gas meter.

    • All piping beyond the gas meter is customer owned and not maintained by the Harriman Utility Board.
    • Buried pipe that is not maintained, may be subject to the potential hazards of corrosion and leakage.
    • Buried gas piping should be:
      • Periodically inspected for leaks.
      • Periodically inspected for corrosion if the piping is metallic; and
      • Repaired if any unsafe condition is discovered.
    • Licensed plumbing and/or heating contractors may be contacted to assist in locating, inspecting and repairing customer owned gas piping.
    • If you plan to dig on your property, TN 811 should be called three days in advance so that all underground utility piping can be marked.
  •  
    •  Digging in marked areas should be performed cautiously, using only hand tools.
