DPU News:

Los Alamos Department of Public Utilities’ customers may receive an automated phone survey on natural gas safety in the next day or so. 

The calls will be launched from the Texas area and will have a (210) area code. Survey duration is approximately five minutes long and assesses customers’ knowledge of gas safety issues. 

“Natural gas is safe, clean and efficient. But like other forms of energy, it is important to respect its potential dangers,” Public Relations Manager Julie Williams-Hill said. “Our job is to communicate natural gas safety. I hope that our customers will take the time to answer the survey questions so that we may determine how to improve our public awareness program.”

The phone survey is scheduled to run for three days, including Saturday and Sunday.
