Gas Line Repair in Dania, FL
Dania is largely a town without gas: 6% of households use it at all. That makes the buried service line a minority arrangement, and the people who have one worth talking to specifically.
Read this first
Gas of any kind reaches only 6% of households in Dania, so most homes there have no gas line at all. Where one exists it is more often a tank than a main, which puts the installation on the property rather than behind a meter.
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 Dania is supplied
With gas this uncommon locally, the useful question is which arrangement you have rather than what the town does. A mains connection has a meter and a federal boundary; a tank has neither.
| Households in Dania | Share |
|---|---|
| Utility (mains) gas | 5% |
| Bottled or tank propane | 1% |
| Electricity | 87% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 0% |
| Wood and everything else | 7% |

It does not enumerate service lines, and no table does at this geography; what it gives is the best available indication of which arrangement a property is on. Service line definition: 49 CFR § 192.3, via PHMSA interpretation PI-12-0003.
Across Florida as a whole, 5% of households are on mains gas and 1% on tank propane. Dania sits about level with the state on mains and about level with 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
8-1-1 is free and nationwide, and PHMSA gives callers a 99 percent chance of avoiding an incident, injury or worse. Ask them what they will and will not mark: privately owned buried lines on your own side of the meter frequently are not covered.

What to ask whoever quotes it
Ask which side of the meter the work is on before anything else. On the utility side it may not be a contractor job at all, and a quote that has not established that has not established whose problem it is.

Checking a plumber in Florida
Florida licenses are issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins. Florida distinguishes state-certified contractors from registered contractors, who are limited to particular counties.
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. Non-emergency work in Dania goes through this number as well.
