Chickasawhay Natural Gas District
Public Awareness Notice
 
Please read the following gas system safety information.
It is provided to promote public awareness and damage prevention 
awareness.
Chickasawhay Natural Gas District owns and operates natural gas 
distribution systems in the Counties of Clarke and Wayne, Mississippi. 
The gas systems consist of underground networks of pipelines throughout 
the Counties and in Towns of Quitman, Shubuta and Waynesboro. The 
purpose of the gas system is to provide a reliable and safe economical 
source of energy for heating purposes to the homes and businesses 
adjacent to the underground gas pipelines. The pipeline system has the 
capacity to reliably deliver natural gas to the customers.
 
The hazards of natural gas are that it is: odorless, colorless, 
tasteless, lighter than air and can ignite and/or explode with 
tremendous force when mixed with the right amount of air.
 
Prevention measures taken include:
• Adding odorant to the gas to give it that distinctive smell, similar 
to rotten eggs, to warn us of its presence    
• Testing the odorant level each calendar quarter    
• Performing annual gas leakage surveys    
• Conducting periodic pipeline patrols    
 
The following are signs that may indicate a gas leak:
• A hissing or roaring sound (caused by escaping gas)    
• A patch of dead or discolored vegetation in an otherwise green 
setting along a pipeline route    
• Blowing dirt, grass or leaves near a pipeline    
• Continuous bubbling in wet, flooded areas    
• A "gas smell," similar to rotten eggs            
            
Safety Procedure:
Anyone who may smell this odor or notice any unusual conditions on or 
near gas mains, vents, service lines, meter sets, or especially inside 
of a building should call the Gas Office immediately. If you smell a 
strong gas odor inside a building, notify everyone in the building to 
leave.  Do not operate any switches or use the phone.  Go a safe 
distance away upwind of the gas smell and call the Gas Office. With any 
gas leak protect life first then property, then notify the Gas Office.
 
Excavator Procedure:
Pipeline markers are maintained to inform the public of the gas line 
location. State and federal laws require excavators to notify MS 
One-Call two (2) full working days before digging.  If any excavation 
is planned you must notify MS One-Call which will notify the Gas 
Office  to locate the gas lines. Chickasawhay Natural Gas District 
maintains membership in the MS One-Call program.
 
Emergency Contact Information:
To obtain additional information or report a gas related issue call 
Chickasawhay Gas Office at 601-776-8887 or the 24/7 Emergency Line at 
601-687-1214. The MS One-Call Center phone number is 811. 
This information and the pipeline signs are provided as public awareness 
and damage prevention awareness notices.
