HOW TO RECOGNIZE A NATURAL GAS LEAK

Know the Signs of Pipeline Leak

The best way to recognize a pipeline leak is by using your eyes, ears and nose.

Look – Persistent bubbling in standing water or discolored vegetation are signs of a possible leak around the pipeline area. 

Listen –  for any unusual noise like a hissing or roaring sound.

Smell – Notice any strange or unusual odor (the products will have a petroleum odor or smell like rotten eggs).

What to do if you smell natural gas INSIDE your home or building:

Step 1: Leave immediately on foot! Do not use electric switches, telephones (including cell phones) or anything that could cause a spark.

Step 2: Go directly to a safe location, and then call 911 and the City of Alpine Gas Dept. Do not use e-mail or the Internet to contact the company about a leak, and never assume someone else has reported the leak.

Step 3: Alert your neighbors.  The City of Alpine Gas Dept. checks suspected natural gas leaks at no cost to you.

Step 4: Never try to repair a natural gas leak yourself. Leave all repairs to a trained technician.
