Gas Line Repair in Murrayville, GA
Neither arrangement dominates Murrayville: 6% mains gas, 13% tank propane. This page applies to both, and the difference between them is the first thing to establish.
Read this first
In Murrayville, 6% of homes are on mains gas and 13% on bottled, so the town average settles nothing about any one address. Mains gas ends the utility's regulated line at the meter outlet; a tank supply has no such boundary.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey table B25040; the service line boundary is 49 CFR § 192.3.
If you smell gas right now
Leave the building on foot. Do not use a phone or a light switch inside. Call 911 and your gas utility from somewhere else, and do not call us — we are a referral service, not an emergency line. The full list, in order.
How Murrayville is supplied
The split here means a contractor may be quoting on either arrangement, and the first question is which. On mains it also matters which side of the meter the fault is on, because one side may not be a contractor job at all.
| Households in Murrayville | Share |
|---|---|
| Utility (mains) gas | 6% |
| Bottled or tank propane | 13% |
| Electricity | 73% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 2% |
| Wood and everything else | 7% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25040 (house heating fuel), 2023 release. Universe: 1,839 occupied housing units. The table counts heating fuel rather than pipework. A house on mains gas almost certainly has a service line; the Census does not say so directly and neither do we. Service line definition: 49 CFR § 192.3, via PHMSA interpretation PI-12-0003.
Across Georgia as a whole, 51% of households are on mains gas and 3% on tank propane. Murrayville sits 45 points below the state on mains and 10 points above it on propane. That spread is what a state average hides, and it is why this page carries the town’s own figures rather than inheriting them.
Before anyone digs on the property
Before any digging — a fence post as much as a foundation — call 8-1-1. It is a nationwide toll-free number, it costs nothing, and PHMSA puts the chance of avoiding an incident afterwards at 99 percent.

What to ask whoever quotes it
Ask how much gas work they actually do, not whether they can. Gas is separately licensed in most jurisdictions and plenty of capable plumbers do very little of it.

Checking a plumber in Georgia
Georgia licenses are issued by the Georgia Secretary of State, Division of Master and Journeyman Plumbers, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins.
Gas work is separately permitted and separately licensed in most jurisdictions, so ask specifically about gas rather than plumbing in general.
For repair work, not for a suspected leak.If you can smell gas, leave and call 911 or your utility from outside; this is the wrong number for that. For everything else — a line, a meter, an appliance connection — we will route you to a contractor covering your area, free of charge to you. Other Murrayville requests are covered by the same line.
