Gas Line Repair in New Berlinville, PA
No household in New Berlinville was recorded as heating with gas, mains or bottled, in the survey behind this page. Where a supply does exist it will be a tank on the property rather than a utility line under the street.
Read this first
Gas of any kind is absent from the survey record for New Berlinville: not one household there was found heating with mains gas or with bottled. Gas work is unusual as a result, and where a supply does exist it is likelier to be a tank on the property than a utility service line ending at 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 New Berlinville is supplied
Where most homes are electric, gas work is a specialty and less common, and the properties that do have gas are often the older or the larger ones.
The rules do not change with the local share. If there is a mains connection there is a service line ending at the meter outlet under 49 CFR § 192.3, and if there is a tank the whole installation is the owner’s.
| Households in New Berlinville | Share |
|---|---|
| Utility (mains) gas | 0% |
| Bottled or tank propane | 0% |
| Electricity | 18% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | 82% |
| Wood and everything else | 0% |

What B25040 measures is the heating fuel, not the connection. It is the closest published proxy for whether there is a buried service line here, and it is a proxy. Service line definition: 49 CFR § 192.3, via PHMSA interpretation PI-12-0003.
Across Pennsylvania as a whole, 50% of households are on mains gas and 5% on tank propane. New Berlinville sits 50 points below the state on mains and 5 points below 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
PHMSA describes excavation damage as the leading cause of pipeline incidents, and puts the effect of one free phone call plainly: someone who calls 8-1-1 before they dig has a 99 percent chance of avoiding an incident, injury, harm to the environment and even death.

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 Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has no state license for plumbers. Its Department of Labor and Industry states it has no jurisdiction and keeps no records of which municipalities require one, so the only reliable answer is your own city or township. Start here. Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office 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. We serve New Berlinville for plumbing that has nothing to do with gas.
