How To Recognize A Gas Leak

A natural gas leak can be detected by smell, sight or sound.  You can smell a gas leak if the gas contains a natural odor or artifical odorant.

However, most transmission lines carrying pipeline quaility natural gas often do not contain an odor, therefore a leak is not detectable by smell.

Other possible signs of a natural gas leak include:

• Dead vegetation
• Blowing dirt
• Bubbles rising in water
• Flames
• Loud roaring - high pressure lines
• Hissing sound - low pressure lines
• Bubbling noise in water
