Atmos Energy replacing gas main and service lines around Paducah

Atmos Energy will be working around Paducah over the next several months to replace almost 10,000 feet of gas main plus 68 service lines.

The aging bare steel mains are being replaced with High Density Polyethylene for durability and reliability.

Service lines are the lines that run from the street to an individual home, and 68 of those will also be replaced.

Ryan Tolbert, Operations Manager for Paducah said, “Atmos Energy is committed to the safety and reliability of our system.  It is our number one priority. We are continuing to replace pipe in different parts of Paducah, and we will begin next week."

Kentucky Avenue From S 19th Street to Just East of S 15th Street
Clark Street from S 20th Street to S 16th Street

Short 16th Street from Clark Street to Dead End
S 16th Street from Clark Street to Kentucky Avenue
