Natural Gas Defined
Natural gas is a non-toxic, colorless, fuel that is about one-third lighter than air. Gas burns, but only when mixed with air in the right proportion and ignited by a spark or flame. In its purified state, natural gas has no smell. For your protection, the Commission adds a harmless, distinctive, odor so you can detect and report the slightest gas leak.

• Whenever gas leaks from a pipe or pipe fitting, there is the possibility of fire or explosion.
• If leaking gas accumulates in a confined space, it can displace air and cause suffocation.
• If a gas appliance is not working properly, incomplete combustion can produce carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
• A pilot light or gas burner can ignite combustible materials and flammable vapors, such as gasoline, paint thinners, or aerosols.

For more natural gas safety information, please read "How to Prevent Gas Emergencies."

Suspected Leaks
Call the Commission at (606) 474-7569 during regular business hours. After hours call (606) 474-5731. If the odor is very strong and you are indoors, open windows and doors to ventilate. Go outside. Call us from a neighbors house.

Gas Budget Plan
Yes. The Commission offers a Leveled Natural Gas Budget Billing Plan. The budget begins on July 1st and runs through June 30th. To be eligible you must complete and submit the Agreement for Leveled Natural Gas Budget Billing Form 2006-K.
