Duke Energy Kentucky, Inc. will be performing inspections
on our gas metering equipment and piping located inside buildings in your area. These
inspections are required by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and are necessary for
safe natural gas pipeline operations.

The inspection involves the gas piping from the building wall to the outlet of the gas meter. The
work to be performed will include an inspection of the exposed gas piping and metering
equipment for leakage and corrosion. On average, an inspection should take approximately ten
minutes to complete.

Duke Energy Kentucky wants to inform your office of the DOT-required inspection and that
we have contracted Southern Cross Corp to complete these inspections at residences and
businesses with inside gas meters. The Southern Cross technician will be readily identifiable
by:

  • Wearing a visible Southern Cross picture ID on the outside of the uniform; and
  • Having a contact phone number for the customer to call for verification of the Duke

    Energy Kentucky inspection

    Southern Cross technicians will be driving Southern Cross or personal vehicles with a
    Southern Cross logo, so you and members of your community should not expect to see the
    technician in a Duke Energy vehicle.

    We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and your community, so please do not hesitate to
    contact our office should you have any questions concerning these inspections.
