Florida depends on Peoples Gas every day to deliver clean natural gas to fuel our homes, businesses and economy. That’s why we invest more than $200 million annually to improve and expand our natural gas infrastructure to meet the demand for safe, affordable, reliable energy.
For more than a decade, we've worked to replace hundreds of miles of cast iron, bare steel and vintage plastic gas mains. We also focus on modernizing older infrastructure – particularly in communities being revitalized with new construction and larger dwellings – to make sure our natural gas system can deliver when and where it’s needed.
Minimizing the impact on our communities
Cast iron and bare steel pipes were widely installed throughout the country for distribution of natural gas until the 1970s. Current standards call for pipe made of polyethylene or coated steel, which is more corrosion resistant. For that reason, we've been proactively replacing older and problematic pipes.
Most of the work on our system is done in the public rights of way and in front of residential properties. Any excavation should have minimal impact on the roads by using trenchless technology like directional drilling. Upon completion, disturbed areas will be restored to pre-project condition or better.
