The natural gas pipeline regularly undergoes condition assessments and leak
detection survey to ensure the integrity of the pipeline. This is a preventive
measure, although there is still potential for failures with the pipeline.
Easements are able to be rerouted; however, rerouting this particular
easement would require the removal of all structures over the easement.
Keesler AFB has considered the privatization of the easement, but has not
yet had the opportunity to do so.

The natural gas pipeline that serves Keesler AFB is routed through
residential properties.
Regular maintenance is conducted on the pipeline.
