We will
team up with Lowe’s Home Improvement Stores in Memphis and Shelby County to
promote natural gas safety awareness and “Call 811 Before You Dig” on Friday,
April 8, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The natural gas safety day is part of National
Safe Digging Month observed across the country and in Tennessee in April.
On MLGW’s Natural Gas Safety Awareness Day, April 8, the
Division’s Gas Engineering employees and volunteers will staff display tables
at several Lowe’s locations to provide information and brochures on natural gas
safety, which is especially relevant in the springtime. That’s when many
homeowners and contractors begin spring digging, excavating, landscaping and
gardening, as well as home and business construction projects. There will also be
information available to Lowe’s visitors about Tennessee One Call, the national
811 safe digging hotline and the “Call 811 Before You Dig” law.
Additional information includes:
- Damage prevention awareness
- Leak recognition and response
- Awareness of natural gas hazards and accident/damage prevention measures
- Pipeline purpose and reliability
- Transmission pipeline awareness, rights of way and pipeline
markers
Below is a list of participating Lowe’s locations:
- 430 Germantown Parkway, Cordova, TN
- 8490 Highway 51 North, Millington, TN
