As part of Atlanta Gas Light’s commitment to safely and reliably provide natural gas to our communities, we are replacing the natural gas mains and some service lines in the Buckhead area with newer, more advanced pipe through the Piedmont Enhancement Project.
The Piedmont Enhancement Project will be completed in segments over a two-year period. As with all our projects, safety is a top priority. We will make every effort to minimize inconveniences to property owners and community members along the route.
Construction began in July of 2021. While the project spans several miles and will take two years to complete, work will be conducted in 1,500-foot increments. Roads will only be closed along the sections of the project path where work is currently being performed. Within these areas, one lane will be closed 24 hours a day, seven days a week while a second lane will only be closed during work hours.

Natural gas is a colorless, odorless fuel. As a safety precaution, we add a chemical odorant called mercaptan that gives natural gas an odor often associated with rotten eggs. This distinctive scent allows you to smell a potential leak if it occurs.
Look for discolored vegetation, blowing dirt or continuously bubbling water in the area of a buried gas line.
Listen for a hissing sound.
Smell for the distinctive “rotten egg” odor of natural gas.
Never try to find the leak yourself. If you suspect one:
Leave the area immediately, warning others in the area as you leave. Keep everyone away from the area until emergency assistance arrives.
Avoid touching anything that may cause a spark. This includes lighters, matches, cigarettes, flashlights, light switches and telephones in the area of the suspected leak. Wait until you are a safe distance away before using your cell phone.
