Understand the Dangers
While most natural gas safety rules are common sense, it's worth the effort to take a few minutes to look for ways to eliminate potential hazards.

Check Your Connections
If you have natural gas appliances, you need to know that older flexible connectors made of uncoated brass can weaken or crack over time, which could lead to a dangerous and deadly gas leak.

Call Before You Dig
Before you start any outdoor digging projects like planting a tree, installing a fence or building a deck, be sure to call 811 or your area one-call service to have underground utility lines marked.

Maintain Your Buried Piping
Do you have buried natural gas lines for a pool, workshop or other use on your property? You should know about a federal law covering the maintenance of customer-owned gas piping.

Integrity Management
Our Integrity Management Program builds on an already comprehensive safety program by providing a process for inspecting and assessing the condition of Alliant Energy-owned natural gas pipelines and establishing a maintenance program based on best industry practices.

Keep Your Meter Clear
It's important to make sure meters remain easy to reach - quick access to your meters may be critical in an emergency.

Natural Gas Safety
More than 2 million miles of pipeline safely deliver natural gas, and utility companies take many precautions to keep them safe. It’s essential to make safety around natural gas pipelines a priority with each of your projects.

Call Before You Dig
Calling 811 before you dig can be the difference between a successful project and serious accident, possibly with injuries.
