Clarksville, TN – The Clarksville Gas and Water Department (CGW) joins the national observance of Natural Gas Utility Workers’ Day today! This important day is a time when communities such as ours give recognition to employees who provide one of their most valuable assets—their natural gas utility.
The official Natural Gas Utility Workers’ Day is March 18th because that is the date of the New London, Texas, school explosion in 1937 that led to the widespread odorization of natural gas and an increased emphasis on safety. Safety is a vital aspect to natural gas distribution and the employees of distribution companies endeavor to make natural gas delivery as safe as possible through employee training, systems inspections and public outreach.
This annual nationwide event is a time to build public awareness about the hard work done by the employees of the Clarksville Gas Department who safely deliver natural gas to over 30,000 customers and maintain 989 miles of gas distribution line. Customers recognize the need to access reliable, affordable, safe energy and depend on natural gas service and employees for this need.
“Clarksville gas employees demonstrate their daily commitment to the safe delivery of natural gas service and we recognize their commitment to the community today and every day,” said Troy Jones, Clarksville Gas Department Manager.
Clarksville Gas & Water invites you to join them in supporting natural gas as a premier energy source for our country. As the cleanest-burning fossil fuel, natural gas can help us achieve energy security and build a more competitive economy.
“Please join us as we recognize our natural gas utility employees for their expertise in the field of natural gas,” said Mark Riggins, Clarksville Gas & Water General Manager. “Employees demonstrate exceptional performance with focus on safety in the delivery of natural gas service to our community and I am very proud to recognize them today,” said Riggins.
