It helps to know who delivers the water. Kitsap PUD operates the Keyport community water system for the village. The Navy base has its own supply. Homes down the road toward Brownsville and Virginia Point may be on North Perry Avenue Water District or private wells depending on the parcel. Keyport sits about 35 to 40 minutes from Port Orchard up Highway 3 and out State Route 308 from our base, close enough that same-day and next-day visits are the norm rather than the exception.
Why gas line installation & repair is a little different in Keyport
Winter outages have pushed many Keyport homeowners toward standby generators. Each one needs a dedicated, correctly sized gas line tested under full load, and we work alongside your electrician so both sides are ready together.
What happens past the house is not the same across Keyport. The village and the Navy station are on Kitsap County sewer, with flows pumped to the Central Kitsap Treatment Plant. The county has listed Keyport among the areas it serves since the plant opened. Properties outside the small sewered core toward Virginia Point and the Brownsville road are typically on septic.

Permits for gas piping in Keyport are issued by the local jurisdiction, and the inspector wants to see the pressure test before the drywall goes up. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork for resale.
Local conditions shape the work. In Keyport: Water heaters crammed into closets without expansion tanks or pans
Natural gas service in Keyport depends entirely on where the mains run, and a surprising number of Kitsap County addresses are just beyond them. If you are on propane, we size the piping for propane pressure, set the house regulator and coordinate with your tank supplier.

Gas Line Installation & Repair questions from Keyport
Do you handle propane systems in Keyport?
Yes. We install second-stage regulators, run piping to each appliance, convert appliances when the manufacturer offers a kit, and coordinate the tank and first-stage regulator with your propane supplier.
Can you add a gas line for a generator at my Keyport home?
Yes. Generators need their own sized line and are tested under full load. We coordinate with your electrician so the fuel side and the transfer switch are finished together.
Who do I call for a gas smell in Keyport?
Your gas utility's emergency line or 911 first, from outside the house. After they shut off the meter, call us at (360) 812-1124 and we will locate and repair the leak and pressure-test the system before relighting.
Does a gas line in Keyport need a permit?
Yes, nearly always. New lines, extensions and most repairs require a permit and an inspection of the pressure test. We pull it for the Keyport jurisdiction as part of the job.
Can you run a gas line if I am on propane?
Yes. Much of our gas work in Mason County and rural Kitsap is propane. We size for propane's higher pressure, set the second-stage regulator at the house, and coordinate with your tank supplier on the first-stage regulator and tank size.
