Fixing our Pipes: Coordinating Natural Gas Main Replacement between Local Governments and Gas Companies

In 2015 MAPC, partnering with HEET, secured a Technical Assistance Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to identify mechanisms to help gas companies and cities and towns replace pipe more efficiently and possibly accelerate the 20 to 25 year timetable. The grant funded a study of municipality and gas company coordination as well as independent gas leak surveys.
