Missouri Public Service Commission Pipeline Safety Regulations require each natural gas operator to establish a continuing Public Education and Damage Prevention Program.
The purpose of this letter is to increase damage prevention awareness, and inform you that Macon Municipal Utilities (MMU) has a buried steel feeder line and service lines carrying natural gas at or near 220 lbs. Per square inch in portions of the City of Moberly and Randolph County, and also in the City of Macon and Macon County which may be on or near your property. This pipeline purpose is to supply gas from Moberly to Macon, and serve customers in those two cities as well as Cairo, Jacksonville, and Excello.
MMU is committed to maintain safe, reliable pipeline operation. The safety of you, your property, our pipeline and employees is of the utmost importance to us.
If you suspect a leak from a natural gas pipeline, hear gas blowing, or if you smell gas.
• Leave the area and warn others to stay away.
• Blowing gas could result in asphyxiation, possible fire and or explosion.
• From a safe area, call your local fire and law enforcement Depts. (911)
As a rule accidents that do occur are a result of actions and conditions beyond our control. For these reasons, it is important that the public and our customers know where our facilities are and how to get in contact with us. Pipeline markers are located at
varying intervals along the pipe route, and at all road crossings. Placement of these pipeline markers indicates the general location of the pipeline and should never be used as a reference for the exact location of the pipeline. Our pipeline markers list a 24-
hour telephone number for reporting pipeline emergency communications.
