GAS Awareness!

 The National Transportation Safety Board states that pipelines provide the highest level of public safety as compared to other transportation modes. Every day natural gas pipelines safely carry one of the world's most reliable, efficient and environmentally friendly fuels to businesses, homes and neighborhoods like yours. Preventing pipeline emergencies is important to the City of Parsons Natural Gas System. We are part of this community and we are committed to delivering natural safely to our neighbors.

AS good neighbors do, you can help, here's how.

Tips to Save on Home Water Heating

1. Set thermometer to 140 degrees F if you have an automatic dishwasher. Otherwise, set at 120 degrees F. Reducing from 140 degrees F to 120 degrees F can save over 18 percent on energy costs.
2. Use the coolest water setting possible for washing clothes and household cleaning.
3. Turn off water heater when you will be away for the weekend unless there is the chance of freezing.
4. Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.
5. Don’t run the water while shaving or washing dishes.
6. Make sure faucets are always turned off completely.
7. Insulate hot water storage tank and piping. Be sure not to block air vents. This can save $8-$20 per year.
8. Repair leaky faucets. One drip per second is the equivalent of 200-240 gallons per month.
9. Install aerators and low-flow shower heads.
10. Drain a few gallons of water from the tank every six months. This increases the efficiency and life of the water heater by removing sludge from the tank.
11. Use a water heater timer for electric units.
12. Provide annual maintenance, and keep the unit clean.
13. Purchase a new energy-efficient water heater with the proper capacity for your family’s needs.
