PG&E’s Community Pipeline Safety Initiative

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is working with the City of Ukiah and local residents to check the area above natural gas transmission pipelines for trees, brush and other items that could pose a safety concern. While working with City resources to achieve the project’s safety goals, PG&E will direct and fund the project. More details about the City’s involvement in PG&E’s Community Pipeline Safety Initiative can be found in the following files:

Every day, we at PG&E lead gas pipeline safety work across northern and central California to ensure that the millions of customers in the communities we serve have the safest and most reliable gas system in the nation. PG&E’s Community Pipeline Safety Initiative helps to ensure that the pipeline is operating safely by looking at the area above and around the natural gas transmission lines to be certain that first responders and our own emergency response crews have critical access to the pipelines in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.

It is because of our commitment to safety that we have spent or earmarked nearly $3 billion to strengthen our gas infrastructure all throughout the California communities we’re proud to serve. From PG&E’s Community Pipeline Safety Initiative webpage
