Pursuant to 49 CFR Part 192, Lake Cumberland Gas Authority (LCGA) is hereby notifying all natural gas customers of their right to request the installation of an Excess Flow Value (EFV) on existing natural gas service lines. An EFV is a safety device which is installed on natural gas distribution lines. EFV devices are designed to shut off the flow of natural gas automatically if a service line breaks. Therefore, there is potential safety benefits derived from installing an EFV on a service line. If a service line customer makes a request under the above referenced regulation, and the customer’s line is eligible for the installation of an EFV per the regulation, the costs associated with the initial installation, including the cost of the EFV device itself, will be the responsibility of LCGA. However, customers requesting the installation of an EFV should be aware that costs for maintaining and replacing an EFV will be incurred by the customer. When an eligible customer requests an EFV be installed, LCGA will make every effort to determine potential future costs regarding maintenance or replacement of the EFV to the fullest extent possible.

For more information on whether your service line qualifies for installation of an EFV under current safety regulations, please contact Lake Cumberland Gas Authority at 270-866-5189

City of Russell Springs utilities crews are in the process of installing home and business line and meter installs to the new natural gas pipeline that has been being installed around the county for the past few months. The new natural gas that will be available through the City of Russell Springs Utilities Department will be a great new addition to residents’ homes and businesses around the area. Natural gas is one of the safest and most efficient forms of heating and cooking fuels, as well as fuel for clothes dryers, water heaters and fireplaces.
