Staying Informed Means Staying Safe

While pipeline emergencies are rare, it is important to know
how to recognize signs of a gas leak if one should occur in your area.

Visual clues that could indicate a pipeline emergency include:

• Dirt being thrown into the air
  
• Water bubbling or being blown into the air at a puddle, pond, creek or river
  
• Fire coming from the ground or appearing to burn above the ground
  
• Dead or dying vegetation on or near the roadway or
  easement in an otherwise green area
  
• Dry spot in a moist otherwise green location.

Listen

Roaring, blowing or hissing may signal a pipeline emergency:

Smell

Natural gas is odorless. For safety, a foul-smelling agent is added to detect a leak.
If you smell a rotten-egg smell, report a leak immediately.

Call 911 to report a gas leak in your area.
