When my street had a minor leak last Xmas eve-National Grid was out in full force till morning fixing something that could have probably waited. Expand A contractor working for the gas company over pressurized a low pressure gas line, resulting in gas discharges from the meter as the meter's regulator tried to cope with pressures that the meter isn't supposed to see. Many older gas services installed before the 1960s have meters located inside the house, and when the over pressurization caused these meters to vent, the gas vented inside the house, resulting in fires and explosions. Those with meters outside that vented, were probably ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That certainly doesn't sound good. I haven't been too close to the issues in Methuen as of late, but based on your comment I am glad I moved on.
