Columbia Gas of Massachusetts, known as Bay State Gas before 2010, is a supplier of retail natural gas to over 300,000 customers in parts of Massachusetts surrounding Springfield, Brockton, and Lawrence. It is a subsidiary of NiSource. The company's operations in New Hampshire and Maine were sold to Unitil Corporation in 2008.

2018 Merrimack Valley Gas Explosions

On September 13, 2018, at approximately 5:20pm, three cities supplied by Columbia - Lawrence, Andover, and North Andover - suffered numerous fires and explosions as a result of an over-pressurized subterranean gas line.[1] Massachusetts authorities evacuated the three towns and the American Red Cross deployed and set up numerous shelters in nearby communities for those who were displaced by the explosions and subsequent fires.
