Saturday gas leak capped, repaired
UPDATE; The gas leaking from the pipe has been turned off and repair work has been completed.
SaskEnergy, police and fire crews responded Saturday afternoon to an above ground natural gas leak at a home on 8 St. East and 10 Avenue East.
The damage occurred by a third party to a pipe that connects to a metre on a home. A handful of nearby houses were evacuated, though a spokesperson for the company said the situation is under control.
Though gas is still blowing from the pipe and can be smelled downwind, there is no safety concern.
