Master-Metered Gas Systems — The Overlooked Liability

Private gas distribution lines carry pipeline-safety regulatory exposure most buyers never price in.

Regulatory burden: private gas systems fall under federal and state pipeline safety statutes requiring annual leak surveys, valve inspections, and cathodic protection testing.
Risk mitigation: negotiate for the local gas utility to take ownership of the lines, or transition homes to all-electric heat pumps upon replacement.

Key Takeaway

Transitioning private master-metered gas networks to direct municipal utility or electric service eliminates high-liability regulatory compliance risks.
