Natural gas pipelines are the safest form of fuel transportation in the nation. Sometimes, however, failures do occur and it is important for you to know how to respond.
Odor of Gas
Natural gas has a rotten egg or petroleum odor that can alert you to a leak in or around your home. If you smell an odor of gas:
- Leave the building immediately. Leave the door open and don't use light switches or matches.
- Call our 24-hour emergency number at 1-800-432-9515 from a phone outside of the building and wait for our service crew to arrive.
If Columbia Gas crews are working in the area, contact them and the on-site project supervisor.
