Gas Department
Department Manager: Ron Walker


  CLGW purchased the Kennett gas system from Associated Natural on December 3, 1984. The gas personnel are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the natural gas system owned by the City of Kennett. Their duties include installing new main extensions, service lines and meter sets, annual inspections of valves and the regulators. They investigate and repair gas leaks and respond to emergency calls 24 hours a day..
  The Gas Department uses a variety of tools, instruments and equipment to perform their combustible gas indicators, flame ionization units, line locators, carbon monoxide monitors, pressure gauges and voltmeters. Some of the other items they may use are hand tools, power tools, trenchers, and backhoe.
  Extensive technical training is needed for specific functions, within the Gas Department. The Gas Department comes under the jurisdiction of the Missouri Public Service Commission and the U.S. Department of Transportation.
