COMMITMENT TO SAFETY, HEALTHAND ENVIRONMENT According to the National Transportationand Safety Board, pipelines are thesafest, most economical way to transportproducts. We are committed to the safeoperation of our natural gas pipelines inyour community. In fact, we monitor theoperations of our pipelines from ourcontrol centers 24 hours a day, sevendays a week. Our natural gas facilitiesare designed, installed, tested, operatedand maintained in accordance with allapplicable federal and staterequirements. Because safety is soimportant, we’re dedicated to having anexcellent pipeline safety program,including routine inspections, corrosionprotection, maintenance and testingprograms, employee training and publiceducation. Due to their proximity to populated orenvironmentally sensitive areas, someportions of our pipeline systems havebeen designated as High ConsequenceAreas. These areas are subject toincreased inspection and maintenancemeasures, known as an integritymanagement program. More informationon Vectren’s integrity managementprograms and natural gas safety can befound at Vectren.com/Energy-Safety.
