Natural gas never goes out of season!

As temperatures warm up, it's time to get outside! Natural gas can help you make the most out of summer with natural gas powered grills and firepits.

Kick-off summer with these grilling do's and don'ts:

• Do keep your grill at least 10 feet away from your house, garage, or deck. 
• Don't place your grill under any overhangs, awnings, or branches.
• Do clean your grill to remove grease build up and reduce flare-ups - it will also make your food taste better and help with food sticking to the grate!
• Don't leave your grill unattended and keep children and pets as far away from the grill as possible. 
• Do use a meat thermometer to know when your food is cooked properly.
• Do keep a fire extinguisher on hand nearby and ensure all burners and the gas supply are fully turned off when you're done cooking.

Enjoy your grilled masterpieces!

Think It's Not That Deep?

Think again! 40% of active diggers don't contact 811 before digging because they think their project is too shallow to require it. The truth is sometimes utility lines can be buried just inches below the surface. The only way to know for sure is to contact 811 before ANY digging project. Know what's below before you dig by calling or visiting 811beforeyoudig.com.

June is National Safety Month!

Keep safety top of mind:

If you're planning a project that involves digging, knowing where it’s safe to dig helps protect you and your family. Call 811 three days before you dig to have all underground utility lines marked. No project is too small, whether you're planting a flowerbed, installing a mailbox or putting in a pool. Avoid the possibility of expensive fines, property damage, project delays and risk of injury by calling 811 before you dig or visit 811beforeyoudig.com.

Stay prepared for summer weather, from thunderstorms to extreme heat. Having an emergency plan and an emergency supply kit on hand is a great place to start. Learn more about Severe Weather Tips and Flood & Wind Safety.
