Gas Line Repair in Pleasant View, TN
With 32% of households on the main and 4% on a tank, Pleasant View has no single answer to who owns the pipe. It depends which of the two you are.
Read this first
Pleasant View splits between mains and tank gas, at 32% on utility gas and 4% on bottled. Which one a property has decides where responsibility changes hands: a meter outlet marks the boundary on mains gas, while a tank puts the whole installation on the owner.
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 Pleasant View is supplied
Two arrangements in one town, and the difference is not cosmetic. A mains connection has a meter, and 49 CFR § 192.3 ends the regulated service line at its outlet. A propane installation has no meter boundary and belongs to the property owner end to end.
Establish which you have before anything else on this page applies.

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 Tennessee as a whole, 36% of households are on mains gas and 2% on tank propane. Pleasant View sits about level with the state on mains and about level with it on propane. That is the gap a statewide number papers over, and the reason the figures above are this town’s rather than the state’s.
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 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 Tennessee
Tennessee licenses are issued by the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors, Department of Commerce and Insurance, 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. Non-emergency work in Pleasant View goes through this number as well.
