PG&E crews cap gas leak near Civic Center
Residents worried about the smell can call PG&E
By Bay City News
A PG&E crew has capped a natural gas leak near the Marin County Civic Center this morning.
PG&E spokeswoman Katie Romans said a Marin County public works crew using a backhoe struck and ruptured a 2-inch gas line around 8:20 a.m.
A repair crew was sent to the site of the leak, near Civic Center and Peter Behr drives, and stopped the leak shortly after 10:30 a.m., Romans said.
She said no evacuations were necessary, as the rupture occurred in the middle of a field. The incident disrupted gas service to a nearby maintenance building, she said.
Romans said residents worried about the smell are welcome to call PG&E with any questions.
"We want customers to know that this is taking place, and if they have any concerns at all, they can call our hotline at (800) 743 5000," she said.
Crews were still at the scene making permanent repairs as of 10:45 a.m.
Romans said PG&E is asking anyone planning a digging project to call 811 beforehand to make sure the digging doesn't affect underground gas lines.
