| The original Gas System was built in 1954.
Harlan now has 32 miles of gas main lines. Approximately 31 miles of system
is coated steel, referred to as cathodically protected, and the rest is a
specially designed plastic. HMU contracts with two providers to help us serve our customers. The first is Northern Natural Gas. We contract with them for pipeline delivery of the gas to our Town Border Station (TBS) which is about a mile east of the HMU offices on Highway 44. It is here that we meter how much gas we use for the town. As natural gas has no smell, this is also where we add an odorant.
If you suspect a natural gas leak inside the home or business, leave immediately without turning on or off any lights or touching any electric device including a telephone. Call 911 or HMU from another location or use a cell phone away from the building. Do not go back inside the building for any reason until HMU personnel tell you it is safe. This Utility is also responsible for reading and maintaining all electric, gas and water meters. Gas and Meter Utility Employees:
