Southwest Gas says crews have made repairs after a ruptured natural gas line near Marlette Lake.
The company goes on to say that no service disruptions have occurred.
According to Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue - a contractor severed a 10-inch gas line, which caused a rupture in the pipeline.
Southwest Gas previously said it "has been monitoring the situation closely and our customers’ natural gas service has not been disrupted due to the incident. We are working closely with our upstream provider to ensure our customers can continue safely relying on their natural gas service and will provide an update if the situation changes."
An odor of gas filtered into the Washoe Valley area and crews responded.
If you smell gas in Washoe Valley fire officials say you do not need to call 911, but Southwest Gas says that's not their policy. "Southwest Gas stresses and it is very important, that is anyone sees, hears, or smells a potential gas leak that they leave the area immediately, go to a safe place and call 911 followed by Southwest Gas at 800-860-6020."
