If You Smell Gas

Recognize Signs of a Natural Gas Pipeline Leak
Leaks from a natural gas pipeline are extremely rare. Year after year the National Transportation Safety Board statistics support the industry’s safety record. However, it is important to know how to recognize the signs of a leak if one were to occur in your area.

Call Right Away if you Notice:
vegetation over or near the pipeline which appears to be dead or dying for no apparent reason
water bubbling at a creek, pond, river or any wet area
dirt being blown or appearing thrown into the air
fire or explosion near or involving the pipeline
exposed pipeline, which may have been caused by a natural disaster such as flood or earthquake
hissing , whistling or roaring sound.

Natural gas is usually colorless and odorless, but our pipelines contain odorized gas. The gas will have a slight “rotten egg” smell.
