NATURAL GAS SAFETY

If you suspect a natural gas leak:

  • Leave immediately and go to a safe location.
  • Do not try to locate the source of the leak.
  • Do not use electrical devices, like lights, phones or garage door openers.
  • Do not try to shut off any natural gas valves.
  • Do not use an open flame, matches or lighters.
  • Do not start vehicles parked in the area
  • Call 911 from a safe place.

Signs of a natural gas leak:

  • 'Rotten egg' smell
  • Dead or discolored vegetation in an otherwise green area
  • Dirt or dust blowing from a hole in the ground
  • Bubbling in wet or flooded areas
  • Blowing or hissing sound
  • Flames, if a leak has ignited

To prevent natural gas leaks:

  • Have a qualified technician service gas appliances regularly. They also will check for outdated and unsafe flexible gas connector hoses.
  • Always call JULIE at 811 or (800) 892-0123 before digging to avoid hitting a buried pipe.
  • Turn off all burners completely on the stove or oven after use.
  • Call your local supplier or fire department.
