| Because natural gas pipelines are underground, the public often is
unaware to their presence. Pipelines may be in your neighborhood, or
even on your property. How do you know?
One of the easiest ways to
locate a pipeline is to recognize pipeline markers. The Martin Gas
Department paint these markers with high-visibility yellow, and install
the markers at road crossing, railroads and other points along the
pipeline right-of-way. The markers identify the pipeline company and
include telephone numbers to call to reach a company representative.
If a pipeline is on your property the easement is the agreement that
gives the pipeline company the right of access to build, operate and
maintain the pipeline. Remember: if a pipeline is on your property, the
right-of-way must be kept clear of structures and trees. These
restrictions are necessary for safety reasons. Please contact us for
additional information.
