How do I recognize a gas leak?

Although gas leaks are uncommon, you need to be able to recognize them. Some signs are obvious, some are not. Here are the signs to look for when you suspect a leak:

  • Gas odor (smells like rotten eggs or sulfur)
  • Water bubbling or being blown into the air at a pond, creek or river
  • Fire coming from the ground or burning above the ground
  • Brown patches in vegetation on or near a gas line
  • Dry spot in moist earth
