Message for Natural Gas Users

The City does not maintain privately buried piping, it may be subject to the potential hazards of corrosion and leakage. Buried gas piping should be: 

  1. Periodically inspected for leaks.                           
  2. Periodically inspected for corrosion if the piping is metallic. 
  3. Repaired if any unsafe condition is discovered.

When excavating near buried gas piping, the piping should be located in advance. Excavation should then be done by hand.

PLEASE NOTE: Florida law, as well as Federal law, requires anyone planning excavation on public right-of-way, gas easement or private property to notify the owner/operator (City of Live Oak) of the natural gas system at least 48-hours before excavation. Call Sunshine State One-Call of Florida, Inc. 1-800-432-4770 for all locates.
