- Integrity Management
- We work hard to keep our natural gas facilities and operations safe, secure and reliable.
- Historically Safe
- Natural gas is historically safe, but it can be hazardous. Learn more about why it must be treated with respect.
- System Damage

- Flexible Gas Connectors
- Flexible gas connectors are corrugated metal tubes used to attach gas appliances to a building’s natural gas supply pipes. Some older, uncoated brass flexible gas connectors can corrode or break and cause a serious gas leak, fire or explosion.
- Important Message about Sewer Lateral Work
- Duke Energy is replacing natural gas mains where they may have been installed with directional drilling or other trenchless technologies. If the location of existing utilities is unknown, damage can occur and be undetected until future work is performed.
