Signs of a gas problem

Any gas smell. Leave immediately and call from somewhere else.
Hissing at the meter set, a valve or a connector
Yellow flames, or a burner that pops when lighting
Soot at a vent or around a water heater
A pilot that keeps going out
Bubbles in a puddle above a buried pipe

A smell calls for evacuation. The rest call for a booked inspection.

A city-run gas system

Cartersville is the Bartow County seat at the northwest edge of the metro, about 38 miles from Atlanta. Unlike most of the region, the city owns and operates its own natural gas system, one of 85 Georgia cities that do. The City of Cartersville Gas System serves Cartersville, Cassville, Kingston, White and the Dykes Creek area of Floyd County. Leaks in that system go to the city gas line, 770-387-5642, not to Atlanta Gas Light.

Atlanta Gas Light is also listed for Bartow County, so some outlying addresses may be on AGL instead. If your bill shows AGL, its emergency line is 877.427.4321. The bill is the quickest way to know which company owns your pipes.

The housing is older than in the I-575 suburbs. Census survey data put the median build year at 1990, with about a third of homes built before 1980. Expect black iron pipe in older neighborhoods and flexible tubing in newer ones.

The City of Cartersville Building Department handles inspections, with permits through its CityView portal. The page does not spell out gas permits, so a plumber will confirm what the job needs.

How the call goes

The number on this page puts you in touch with an independent plumber who works around Cartersville. Mention whether your gas comes from the city system or AGL, and describe the appliance and the meter location.

If the city gas crew or AGL shut off your meter after a leak call, they will normally leave it off until the piping on your side is repaired. A plumber finds and fixes the leak, tests the system, and then the utility restores service and relights or tells you how to relight appliances.

Gas Line Services questions in Cartersville

What should I do the moment I smell gas indoors?

Leave right away. From a neighboring home or business, call the City of Cartersville Gas System at 770-387-5642 or 911. If your bill shows Atlanta Gas Light, call AGL at 877.427.4321.

How can I tell which gas utility serves my house?

Check the gas bill. Most Cartersville addresses are on the city's own gas system, but some outlying Bartow County addresses may be on Atlanta Gas Light.

Which part of the gas piping is mine to maintain?

The utility owns the service line and meter. Piping on the house side of the meter, through the walls to each appliance, is the owner's to maintain.

Why is new gas pipe pressure tested before it is used?

A pressure test proves the new pipe and joints hold before gas is introduced. It is part of how inspectors confirm the work is safe.
