Ohio Utility Uses Vans to Drive Safety Message

Columbia Gas of Ohio said that it will be using its fleet vans to remind customers to call 811 before digging or to call the utility and 911 if they smell gas, also known as the "Smell and Tell" campaign.

“Keeping customers safe is our first priority and part of our culture,” said Dan Creekmur, president, Columbia Gas of Ohio. “I’m proud that we’re taking these messages to customers. I want to be sure that everyone knows about 811 and Smell and Tell.”

The utility said that the vehicle wraps have already been installed on several vehicles and will appear across the statewide fleet over the next several months.
