About the System
Natural gas is a
key energy source for customers in California and across the United
States. In most major cities, natural gas is the clean fuel of choice
for heating and cooking. More than 1.5 million miles of transmission
pipelines and distribution systems exist in the United States.
Pipeline Maintenance
For
more than 100 years, the safety of the public and our employees has
been a top priority for PG&E. Our comprehensive testing and
inspection programs ensure the safety of our natural gas transmission
pipeline system. We regularly conduct leak inspections, surveys, and
patrols of all of our natural gas transmission pipelines. Any issues are
immediately addressed. We monitor our gas pipeline system operations 24
hours a day, seven days a week.
Recent Actions
Following
the San Bruno accident in 2010, we have taken significant steps to
enhance the safety and operations of our natural gas transmission system
and the communities we serve. The San Bruno Response Plan is a detailed
look at our progress to date.
