City of Moss Point Gas System Public Awareness Notice The City of Moss Point owns and operates a natural gas distribution system. The gas system consists of an underground network of pipelines in and around the City. The purpose of the gas system is to provide a reliable and safe economical source of energy for heating purposes to the homes and businesses adjacent to the underground gas pipelines. The pipeline system has the capacity to reliably deliver natural gas to the customer. The hazards of natural gas are it is odorless, colorless, tasteless, lighter than air and can ignite and/or explode with tremendous force when mixed with the right amount of air.
