Curb Box Inspection Program
Duke Energy is focused on providing our customers with safe, reliable and efficient natural gas service.
As part of that service, we must comply with various federal and state regulations by making yearly inspections of the accessibility and operable condition of the curb box and shut off valve on a service line. This is done to insure that the commission's safety requirements are being met. Once every year, between February and December, we will perform these inspections on our natural gas curb boxes located near the road’s edge.
Curb boxes are necessary to allow above ground access to the buried valve. The curb box will first be located, then marked and then set to grade. More importantly, it will be cleaned so that the valve is visible and in an operable state. If for some reason there is an issue with your curb box, it could be dug up to make necessary adjustments. If this would be the case, and your natural gas service would need to be shut off, you would be notified prior to the work.
The Kentucky curb box inspection program is performed at no cost to the customer. Below is a schedule of when inspections will occur in each community.
