The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) recently opened the application period for the new Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization Grant program.
The program will offer nearly $200 million in grants annually over the next five years to improve the safety of natural gas distribution infrastructure.
All municipal or community-owned utilities can seek assistance to repair, rehabilitate, or replace high-risk, leak-prone natural gas distribution infrastructure. For-profit groups are excluded.
