Gas Leak Management Requires Multi-
Faceted Approach
6
Efforts: • Monthly mobile
leak survey • Public awareness
campaigns • Residential
methane detectors development and deployment
Detection Response
Efforts: • Code MuRRE • Isolation valve
installation program
• Repair Type 3 leaks
Prevention
Efforts: • Main
replacement program leak prone pipe
• One-call, Dig safe • Work
coordination with city utilities

Detection: Leak Survey Enhancement
Project with Colorado State University
• Mobile leak survey performed with Heath DP-IR
• Objective is to evaluate tools and process to seek improvements of
mobile leak survey
– Evaluate application of an anemometer
– Operate an LGR in parallel to:
• Optimize alarm set-point of DP-IR
• Minimize false positives
• Evaluate leak investigation process once an indication warrants
• Evaluate use of hand-held devices to zero in on leak location
