A safe energy
Natural gas is a safe energy source. In Quebec, nearly 200,000 customers, including a high percentage of schools, hospitals, businesses and large companies, use it every day.
Prevention basics
While natural gas is one of the safest and cleanest energy sources, it is nevertheless important to follow the basic rules of prevention, maintenance and installation for natural gas equipment.

Around your house, there may be essential underground systems that you and your neighbors rely on, including gas lines, power lines and television cables. Learn more
Unblocking a sewer line
The natural gas industry has been using trenchless technology for years to install its underground infrastructures. While this approach saves time, is cost-effective and has little impact on the environment, some natural gas lines installed using this technique may have inadvertently intersected with a sewer service line.
