We

constantly

study

our

gas

pipeline

system

to be

sure it meets

our service

expectations-in

neighborhoods

both

old and new.

As

part

of our

ongoing

commitment

to

ensure

the safest,

most reliable

delivery

of

natural

gas

to

all of

our

valued

customers,

we

wlll

be

replacing

portions

of our

pipeline

system

in

communities

across Virginia,

Maryland,

and Washington,

D.C.

your

neighborhood

is

one

that

will

benefit.

The

pipelines

that

bring natural

gas

into

your

home

or business

are

often

made

of

steel

or cast

iron.

Just

like other

important

parts

of the infrastructure

in

our

communities,

such as highways

and

bridges, age

and condition

can impact

their

safety

and reliability.

While

your

current

system has

performed

well,

it

is

now

time

to

replace

the

pipelines,

usually with

much

longer

lasting,

specially-designed,

plastic

pipe.
