Do you smell gas?
Natural gas is a colorless, odorless gas; however, a chemical that smells like rotten eggs is added to help detect a possible leak. Signs of a gas leak include: seeing bubbling water, hearing a hissing or blowing sound from a pipeline or appliance, dead or discolored vegetation in an otherwise green area, dirt or dust blowing from the ground, or the smell of rotten eggs.
If you smell gas or think you might be smelling gas:
- Leave the area immediately.
- Call your local gas provider at 478-982-6100 or 478-982-2750 from a neighboring home or business.
- Never turn on or off switches or use a flashlight or phone in the presence of a gas smell, because an electric spark could ignite the gas and cause an explosion.
Call 8-1-1 before you dig!
Any time you dig or move earth in any way, you are required to “Call Before You Dig” 48 hours before beginning any digging. When you call Georgia 8-1-1, they will contact utility owners who will locate utility lines on your property so you can safely dig and prevent a potentially hazardous condition. Failure to use the 8-1-1 system is a known cause of pipeline accidents. Calling before you dig can prevent a costly or even deadly mistake.
