Excess flow valve for added safety

We operate and maintain a safe natural gas system for our community. For added safety, an excess flow valve can be installed inside your natural gas service line to minimize the flow of gas if the line or meter is damaged.

Federal code changes require all natural gas utilities to inform their customers of this supplemental device, although it is not required. Typically, homes built since 2010 have this valve installed.

Most installations range between $500 and $1,000 and are the responsibility of the homeowner. To learn more visit csu.org.
Powering Colorado Springs through technology

"In the next 15 years or so, will see customers have more choices than ever before, more opportunity to control their own use and probably more opportunity to make decisions at their own level about their energy use," says CEO Jerry Forte.
