Atlanta Gas Light Company - Pipeline Replacement

Pipeline Replacement Program

The Atlanta Gas Light (AGL) Pipeline Replacement Program is a 15-year project to replace more than 2,600 miles of bare steel and cast iron natural gas pipeline in Georgia. The program is now in its 8th year. To insure the safety and reliability of Atlanta Gas Light’s natural gas pipeline system, older pipes are being replaced with state-of-the-art plastic and steel pipes. The program will be complete in 2013.

While work is in progress, there may be temporary inconveniences to residents. AGL will strive to minimize any impact in your community during construction.

Because we believe in environmental stewardship, we take great care in implementing the best construction practices to protect trees and plants in your community. We follow all State, County and City ordinances and regulations that protect the environment during construction projects.

How This Program May Affect your Neighborhood

First, the gas main within the Right of Way is replaced, and then the service line that serves residential and business premises is replaced. In order for this to occur and as a safety precaution, gas service will be turned off for a short period of time.
To restore service, our authorized contractor or qualified field service representative will schedule a time to enter your home and re-light all appliances that operate on natural gas.
Yard cleanup is completed by the contractor as the project progresses, with a final cleanup at project completion.
Time to complete the project varies based on the size of the project, weather, etc, but please be assured that every effort is made to complete each project as quickly as possible.

If your neighborhood is affected by the Pipeline Replacement Program, you will receive a letter with the names and telephone numbers of the contractors doing the work in your neighborhood as well as the AGL representative responsible for the project.
