SEAGD natural gas lines are located underground. They are not only located along right of ways, but also along private property to access buildings, homes and other structures for service. If you are digging in an area served by SEAGD, contact Alabama One Call at least 48 hours prior to construction work to have all underground utilities located.

Alabama State Law (Alabama Act 94-487) requires contractors to contact all public utilities to locate underground utility lines at least 48 hours prior to performing construction work. Failure to have underground utilities located not only puts a community at risk of utility service interruptions, in extreme cases, equipment damage, bodily injury or even death can occur if a natural gas or other utility line is struck during excavation.

In the event of a damaged natural gas line, contact SEAGD immediately at 800-660-8683 to report the incident. If there is a threat to human life or health, contact 911. Do not bury the damaged line or further disturb it in any way. In addition to contacting SEAGD and emergency responders, it is important that the incident area is clearly marked, and that everyone stay in safe distance from the site.

When protecting the public from a damaged site, be sure to: keep vehicles a safe distance away from the site; do not park over manholes; regroup at a safe distance upwind from the incident or damage area; barricade the area and stop traffic if needed (contact local emergency response personnel to coordinate); and do not under any circumstances operate any valves.

When working around SEAGD natural gas lines, you can also help us keep our communities safe by making us aware of any suspicious activities around our right of way or any SEAGD facility. If you suspect tampering of SEAGD facilities or spot suspicious activities around SEAGD facilities, please contact SEAGD at 800-660-8683 immediately.

Together, we can work safely and you can dig safely around natural gas lines and other underground utilities. Natural gas pipeline facilities are among the safest in the nation. By doing your part in assisting us by calling before you dig, we can maintain safe operating conditions in the communities we serve.
