Reporting Procedures for Suspected Natural Gas Odor and Leaks

If you suspect there may be a natural gas leak in your area:

 

USE YOUR SENSES - ARE ONE OR MORE OF THESE SIGNS PRESENT?

Smell: Natural gas is colorless and odorless, so a distinctive, pungent odor, similar to rotten eggs, is added so that you will recognize it quickly. However, not all transmission lines are odorized!

Sight: You may see a white cloud, mist, fog, or bubbles in standing water or blowing dust. You may also see vegetation that appears to be dead or dying for no apparent reason.

Sound: You may hear an unusual noise like roaring, hissing or whistling.

 

If you Suspect a Leak:

Move:  To a safe environment.

Call: Public Safety at x3333, or 401-254-3333. Provide the exact location of the suspected leak. 

Do Not: Assume someone else will report the condition.

 
 

REMEMBER: REPORT IT, DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT IT!
