GAS LINE RUPTURED ON INFIRMARY

Elyria – A construction company doing work along Infirmary Road in front of Dauch Concrete Company accidentally struck a 2” medium pressure gas line.

A loud hissing noise could be heard coming from the pipe blocks away. The odor of gas could be smelled even further away.

Police quickly blocked off roads surrounding the break prohibiting traffic from passing the area. Firefighters with meters walked the neighborhoods checking levels.

Technicians from Columbia Gas were on scene within 30 minutes. A Technician walked over and simply shut it down. Just like that the noise was gone and within minutes, with a nice wind, the odor was gone as well.
