What To Do If You Smell A Gas Odor
Natural gas is lighter than air, and it has a very high ignition
temperature. For your protection, The Gas Company adds a distinctive odor
to natural gas, so leaks are easily detected.
If you smell a Natural gas or a Propane gas odor:
DON’T panic.
DON’T light a match, candle or cigarette.
DON’T turn electrical appliances or lights on or off.
For safety, a shut-off valve was installed on this appliance. If a leak
occurs at this appliance, the valve will permit you to turn off the gas at the
appliance rather than shutting off all gas service at the meter.
SHUT off the appliance shut-off valve.
