Natural gas is a colorless, odorless fuel. To make natural gas recognizable, a chemical is added to give it a distinctive pungent odor. Some say the smell reminds them of rotten eggs. Any time you suspect a gas leak or gas emergency, evacuate the premises and call 9-1-1 immediately from a safe location. DO NOT turn any electronics on or off, light any matches, smoke, or create any other type of combustion. Extinguish all open flames. DO NOT ring doorbells, use telephones, start your car or any other engine. Turn off gas supply if safe and feasible to do so. Stay away from the area. If you smell gas or suspect there is a leak indoors or outdoors contact 9-1-1 immediately. Keep all appliances clean, properly vented, and serviced regularly. Make sure everyone in your family knows how to operate gas appliances and shut-off valves. Never use an open gas oven to heat your home or dry clothes. Don’t use or store gasoline, aerosols, or other products with flammable vapors near gas appliances. Whenever changing your furnace filter, be sure to replace the compartment door. Never cover fresh air vents that supply air to your gas appliances. Have all gas line alterations and appliance repairs performed by a professional. Prior to digging in the street, right-of-way, or private property, call for underground utility locations (811). Write your fire and police department phone numbers and our emergency service number somewhere convenient for you. Natural gas is a dependable, efficient, clean and economical energy source. However, when you burn gas or any fuel, carbon monoxide can be produced by lack of air, improperly working appliances or bad fuel connections. Your safety is our concern. Natural gas has an outstanding safety record and the City of Live Oak is working to keep it that way. City of Live Oak, Florida © Copyright 2019 All Rights Reserved 101 White Avenue S.E.
