Gas Safety in the Home
Natural Gas Wells usually produce a scent of gas around the wellhead, however be aware that on windy days, the smell can spread further than usual. If you suspect the smell is more abundant than usual, then do the following:
a. Do not turn on any lights or use the telephone
b. Ensure everyone leaves the home/building IMMEDIATELY!! Use a telephone away from the building to call Petroleum Service Partners, Inc. at 724-349-1536.
Appliance Safety
The majority of gas leases allow for free gas use by the property owner. This gas is delivered from the producer’s pipeline via pressure regulators. These regulators should be serviced annually by a qualified technician to assure that they are working properly.
One-Call
If any type of excavation is required, use the PA One Call System at least three days before the excavation begins. Why? This system allows any company who may have underground lines in the area of the excavation to properly mark where their lines are located.
Call 811 or visit their website at www.paonecall.org
PSP, Inc. is not a member of PA One Call because we are not a Public Utility. If you see that your site has a PSP well located on the property, call us at 724-349-1536 and we will put a work order in for our employees to mark our lines.
