(KLZA)-- There is no danger to a Falls City neighborhood after a City Gas Department crew hit a small abandoned gas line Wednesday morning.
Gas Department Superintendent Mark Ramsey said the crew was working near the Falls City Middle School, in the 1400 block of Morton Street and hit an old abandoned gas line.
Ramsey said gas was escaping the damaged line for about 15 minutes before they were able to cap it off. He reiterated there is no danger from the break.
While repairs are being made, gas service for a couple of blocks south of the break will not have gas service. The affected areas will be properties with even number addresses on Lane Street and odd number addresses on Morton Street.
Repairs are expected to be made by early afternoon.
Ramsey said it is possible that you might smell some gas while the line is being purged, but there is no danger.
