IPSCO has about 13 LOAs (Local Operating Areas) like South Bend, Gary, Crown Point, LaPorte, etc. Each LOA has a Gas Service and a Gas Street Department. Not all areas have Electric Line Departments because of other electric companies throughout the area.

Gas Service maintains/installs above ground gas meters and deals with gas leak odor calls as well as to gas turn on/shut offs/ and relights. Gas Service will initially respond to hit gas lines then typically confirm that the line was hit and call for a Gas Street crew to come repair it. 

Gas Street installs, repairs, and maintains underground gas lines. If someone hits an underground gas line, Gas Street with be the ones to dig it up and repair it. 

Electric Line Departments will do installs, repairs, and maintenance of the electric distribution lines as well as respond to electric emergencies like hit poles and lines down within NIPSCOs territory. The will also do restoration work after severe weather events.
