A pipeline emergency is unlikely to occur. However,
the most likely type of an emergency on a pipeline is
a leak caused by excavation and construction equipment
owned by parties other than the pipeline company.
Before you dig or excavate, you are required to contact
Texas One Call to determine exactly where pipelines are
located and wait 48 hours for the site to be marked by
utilities. You can reach your local One Call System at
1-800-669-8344.
Have the following information available when you call
Texas One Call:
- Name and telephone number
- Date and time the work is scheduled to begin
- Specific location address or description of the work site
- Nearest intersecting roadway to the work site
- Distance and direction of the work site from the nearest intersection
Remember to dig safely, call before you dig, wait 48 hours
for the site to be marked, observe the marks, and dig
with care.
Please advise LDC immediately if you make any contact
with the pipeline. It is important that we inspect and
repair any damage to the line.
