Read this first
The utility's regulated line ends at the meter outlet and the piping beyond it belongs to the property owner. That boundary decides most gas line questions in Las Vegas, where 57% of households heat with utility gas and a buried service line runs from the street wherever the supply is a main.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey table B25040; the service line boundary is 49 CFR § 192.3.
57% of households in Las Vegas heat with utility gas, which means a buried service line runs from the street to a meter on most of these properties. Where that line ends is a federal definition, and it decides who repairs what.
What this site is
GaslineSafe is a referral service, not a contractor and not an emergency service. If you suspect a leak, leave and call 911 and your gas utility — not us. Otherwise we connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and gas work is separately licensed in most of them; every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check. We carry out no work, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.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 Las Vegas is supplied
The meter is the boundary the federal rules draw: a service line terminates at the meter outlet, or at the connection to customer piping if that is further downstream. Everything past it is customer piping.
Ownership and maintenance responsibility follow tariff and state regulation rather than that definition, and they do not always land in the same place. Ask where your utility’s responsibility ends before you need to know.
| Households in Las Vegas | Share | 90% margin |
|---|---|---|
| Utility (mains) gas | 57% | ±1 pt |
| Bottled or tank propane | 2% | under 1 pt |
| Electricity | 39% | ±1 pt |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 0% | under 1 pt |
Each share is given with its 90% margin of error. Where that margin is wide, the figure is still the survey’s best estimate and is shown here, but this page will not build a sentence on it.

B25040 is a fuel count, not an infrastructure count. It tells you what burns in these houses, from which the arrangement follows — but it is an inference, not a meter reading. Service line definition: 49 CFR § 192.3, via PHMSA interpretation PI-12-0003.
Across Nevada as a whole, 60% of households are on mains gas and 2% on tank propane. Las Vegas sits 3 points below the state on mains and about level with it on propane. A state figure would flatten exactly that difference, which is the reason these pages are built town by town instead.
Before anyone digs on the property
The single most dangerous thing most people will ever do to a gas line is put a spade through it. PHMSA calls excavation damage the leading cause of pipeline incidents; 8-1-1 is a nationwide toll-free number to call before any excavation, and calling it gives a 99 percent chance of avoiding an incident.

What to ask whoever quotes it
Ask whether the job needs a permit and who is pulling it. Gas work is separately permitted in most jurisdictions and the answer should not be you.

Checking a plumber in Nevada
Nevada licenses are issued by the Nevada State Contractors Board, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins. Nevada licenses the C-1 plumbing and heating contractor classification rather than an individual journeyman.
Gas work is separately permitted and separately licensed in most jurisdictions, so ask specifically about gas rather than plumbing in general.
