If you’re a New Mexico Gas Company customer, you may not be aware that New Mexico Gas Company is responsible for maintaining only the gas line up to your gas meter. The maintenance of your gas line between your meter and your home or building is your responsibility. Your buried pipes should be periodically inspected for corrosion and leakage. In some cases, these pipes may not be protected from corrosion, which can weaken or destroy metal.
Any unsafe conditions that are discovered should be repaired. Contact your local plumber or heating contractor to assist you in locating, inspecting and repairing your buried pipes. If you are a tenant, please notify your landlord.
