In conjunction with these inspections, field inspections are conducted to assure the pipeline is being maintained in accordance with the regulations.

The AZOPS staff are also responsible for conducting pipeline construction inspections on an ongoing basis and conduct investigations of pipeline incidents for the purpose of determining the cause and prevention of similar incidents. In addition to the inspection of hazardous pipelines, the AZOPS is responsible for the enforcement of the Arizona State Damage Prevention Program as codified in the Arizona Underground Facilities Law (Arizona 811).

Report a Pipeline Emergency

Gas pipelines could be located near where you live, work or own property. In case of an emergency, or if you smell natural gas (a distinct sulfur-like odor, similar to rotten eggs, even if it’s faint or momentary), from a secure location call 911 and the local gas company whether you have natural gas service to your property or not.
