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 affordable, reliable fuel.
For more than a decade, we've worked to replace hundreds of miles of cast iron, bare steel and vintage plastic gas mains.
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 for more than a decade. Most of the work on our system will be done in the public rights of way and in front of residential properties. Any excavation will 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. All work is done at no expense to homeowners or local government.
