Damage Prevention
Targa Resources maintains a Damage Prevention Program in accordance with state and federal guidelines. The purpose of the program is to educate the public on 811 and how to maintain safety near our pipelines. If you cause or witness even minor damage to a pipeline or its protective coating, please immediately notify Targa. Even a small disturbance to a pipeline may cause a future leak. A gouge, scrape, dent, or crease is enough for Targa to inspect the damage and make repairs. Do not cover a pipeline that has been disturbed. It makes it more difficult to find the damaged area.
The leading cause of pipeline incidents is third-party digging without the proper notification to 811. Even smaller projects including installing mailboxes, fences, flag poles, placing signs, plowing, and basic landscaping can damage a pipeline or underground utilities.
SEE SOMETHING... SAY SOMETHING! KEEP YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE!
Be aware of people acting suspiciously near pipelines or pipeline facilities. Report unusual or suspicious activity, including:
• People or vehicles loitering in the vicinity of pipelines or pipeline facilities.
• People taking photos, videos or showing other unusual interests in pipelines and facilities.
• A strong odor or fluid leaking from a vehicle located near a pipeline facility.
