Pipeline Public Awareness Program

MMWEC operates an underground natural gas pipeline in Ludlow and has developed a Public Awareness Program to provide basic safety information to people living and working in the general vicinity of the pipeline.

The MMWEC Pipeline
The MMWEC pipeline is used to supply natural gas for the clean and efficient production of electricity at the Stony Brook power plant located in Ludlow.

Our brochure, "Living Safely With Natural Gas Pipelines," provides readers with important emergency contact numbers, as well as tips on how to recognize a gas leak and prevent pipeline damage.

Preventing Pipeline Damage
Excavation work, digging, or grading are the most frequent causes of pipeline damage. Whether you are planning to build a large project, erect a fence, or simply landscape your property, you should protect your safety and the safety of those around you by contacting DIG SAFE at least three business days before you begin any work near the pipeline.

Remember, Before you Dig - Dial 811 for DIG-SAFE
It's Free, It's Safe, and It's the Law!
