Southwest Gas Alerts Public to be Aware of Low Odorant Levels in Natural Gas in Southern Arizona


Tucson, Ariz., -- Southwest Gas is experiencing a low odorant level in its pipelines in Southeast Arizona and Eastern Pima County, impacting its distribution system in surrounding towns including Sierra Vista, Wilcox and Tucson, among others. Under proper conditions, a natural gas leak will smell like rotten eggs. Until further notice, individuals in the affected area should not rely exclusively upon their sense of smell to detect the presence of natural gas. Under current conditions, it is especially important that the public be alert to other signs of a potential leak that include hissing or blowing sounds, standing water continuously bubbling, dirt or water blowing in the air, or decay in vegetation. Individuals that are performing work on natural gas piping or that are installing natural gas appliances should visit the company’s website for important safety information. Southwest Gas is diligently working with its upstream supplier to correct the condition. For updates from Southwest Gas, visit www.swgas.com or call the company at 1-877-860-6020.
