Identifying a Pipeline Leak

Use your sight, smell and hearing to help recognize a pipeline leak.  

  
Do you see . . .

• Dead or discolored vegetation.
• Pooling of liquids on the ground.
• Bubbling in pools of water.
• Sheen on the surface on water.
• A white vapor cloud that resembles smoke.
  
• Dirt blowing from a hole in the ground.
• Fire coming out of or on top of the ground.
• An area of frozen ground when ambient temperatures are warmer than freezing.
• An unusual area of melted snow in winter.
  
  

Do you smell . . . 

• An odor like petroleum liquids or gasoline.
• An odor like rotten eggs or a burnt match.
• A pungent odor.
  
  

* In its purest state, natural gas is colorless and odorless. Natural gas supplied to a home or business may contain mercaptan, which has an odor similar to rotten eggs to assist in detecting a gas leak. Unprocessed natural gas also may have a petroleum-like odor.

  
Do you hear . . .

• A hissing or whistling noise.
• A loud roaring sound like a jet engine.
