Columbia Gas: Brockton facility safe despite smell of gas

BROCKTON, Mass. — Brockton firefighters are monitoring a Columbia Gas facility on Oak Hill Way after plow truck hit a small pipe causing an odor of gas Sunday.

“While customers may smell an odor of gas, the area is safe,” Columbia Gas of Massachusetts said in a statement.

The small pipe, which is used for maintenance purposes, suffered minor damage. The utility will replace the pipe later this week.

As a precaution, nearby Commuter Rail service was shut down, but has since resumed.

Columbia Gas doesn’t expect an interruption of service to customers at this time.
