About two weeks ago I reported a natural gas leak in the street at Ley St, near Townsend in the Morris Cove area to the Southern CT Gas Company. They sent out a technician who indeed confirmed a leak in the main gas line or a lateral gas line in the street. He marked the area, was told by his supervisor that a road crew would repair it and then he left. Nothing was done for a week. I called the Gas Company again on the 15th of June. The dispatcher simply sent out the same technician again. I pointed out to her that that action was redundant and wanted to know when the leak would be fixed. She said that was all she could do.

Again, the same technician came out and reconfirmed gas was leaking out of cracks in the street. Nothing else has been done.

This is the kind of thing that caused an explosion in NYC. Natural gas can seep underground and find its way into home basements. Has the Southern CT Gas Company cut back their staff so much that they are unwilling or unable to do safety related repairs?
