Repairs underway for reported gas leak in Houston after crews hit line
According to ABC13 News, crews are working to contain what appears to be water gushing out of the ground in southeast Houston.
The Houston Fire Department officials reported a gas leak at 5902 Southridge near Crest.
Authorities said the incident happened when third-party construction crews were doing work and hit a line.
ABC13 SkyEye news crew flew over the work site, surrounded by yellow tape and brown water bubbling from the ground, which could indicate a water line break as well as a gas leak.
CenterPoint and Houston Public Works responded to the scene. The energy provided sent ABC13 the following statement:
"CenterPoint Energy is aware of a natural gas line that was struck earlier today near 5900 Southridge St. by a third-party unrelated to the company. We have secured the area and are working to repair the affected natural gas pipeline safely and as quickly as possible. Our crews are collaborating with local emergency responders."
HFD said shelter in place or evacuations were not needed.
