Natural gas is lighter than air, nontoxic, odorless, and colorless. An odor that smells like rotten eggs is added to natural gas so that you can smell it.
IF YOU SMELL GAS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS, OR IF YOU HEAR A HISSING SOUND OF ESCAPING NATURAL GAS, FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE:
(1) DO NOT operate any electrical switches, appliance controls, or plug in / unplug anything from an electrical outlet.
(2) DO NOT use the telephone in the building.
(3) Get everyone out of the building immediately.
(4) Leave the door open.
(5) Use a neighbor’s telephone or cellular phone outside the building to call the Water Works, Gas & Sewer Board (435-7657) Monday - Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or Emergency Dispatch (435-6448) after hours and on weekends. DO NOT use a cordless phone if the base is located inside the building.
