Repair crew headed to Smithfield gas line

SMITHFIELD -- A National Grid crew is on the way to the Douglas Pike-Whipple Avenue intersection to repair gas service after a contractor damaged a two-inch line that runs from the the gas main in the street to customers.

The damage resulted in a gas leak. The incident was reported about 2 p.m. and a National Grid technician arrived at 2:14 p.m. and shut off the line. The crew headed to the scene now will repair the service.

Someone reported from another location on Douglas Pike the smell of gas but it may just be the odor from the leak where the line break occurred. National Grid will also check on the other location, Graves said.
