The Summerville Gas Department serves customers not only inside the City of Summerville, but also in surrounding portions of Chattooga County and in the Armuchee and northern Floyd County area.

Residents and business owners can complete the survey by downloading it from the City of Summerville website. Paper copies are also available at Summerville City Hall, and completed surveys may be mailed to P.O. Box 580, Summerville, Georgia 30747.

The city says participation will help support local infrastructure and contribute to a safer and more reliable natural gas system for the communities served by the department.

The survey and additional information are available through the City of Summerville’s website HERE
