PGE - DAVIS SUBSATION Gas Distribution Station in Davis, California

PGE - DAVIS SUBSATION is a gas distribution station located at 236 K Street in Davis, Yolo County, California. It is part of the extensive natural gas infrastructure operated by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), one of the largest combined natural gas and electric utilities in the United States. The station plays a key role in distributing natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in the Davis area. As a gas distribution station, this facility operates under the regulatory oversight of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), which enforces safety standards under 49 CFR Part 192. The station is part of PG&E's gas distribution network, which includes thousands of miles of pipelines and associated facilities to deliver natural gas safely and reliably. The facility's location in a populated urban area underscores the importance of robust safety and maintenance practices. Gas distribution stations like this one are critical for regulating pressure and ensuring consistent supply to end-users. PG&E's system serves millions of customers across Northern and Central California, making this station a small but integral component of the region's energy infrastructure.

The station is situated in Davis, a city in California's Central Valley, an area with a Mediterranean climate and occasional seismic activity due to proximity to fault lines. Gas distribution facilities in such regions must adhere to stringent seismic safety standards to mitigate risks of leaks or ruptures. The urban setting also requires careful monitoring to ensure public safety and minimize environmental impacts from potential methane emissions.
