How does natural gas get to my home or business?
Gas companies use huge pipelines to transfer natural gas to communities nationwide. Around 2 million miles of underground pipes are used for this amazing delivery system. Once harvested, cleaned, and processed, natural gas travels under pressure through these pipelines at about 15 miles per hour.

After the natural gas reaches the City of Warner Robins gate station, the pressure is reduced and mercaptan is added (giving it that all-too-familiar rotten egg smell). The gas then moves through plastic and steel pipes to neighborhoods and flows into narrow service lines for homes and businesses.
