Update: Gas leak resolved on Providence's East Side

PROVIDENCE -- A gas leak has been resolved on the city's East Side, and people have returned to a handful of homes that were evacuated.

National Grid workers were replacing a gas meter at 29 Preston St., between Hope and Gano streets, when during the work the connection on the inside of the house broke off, according to David Graves, a National Grid spokesman. National Grid sent a crew to do some digging in the area so that service could be temporarily shut off in order to do the repairs.

Everyone was back back in homes around 3:10 p.m.

There may still be filling in of the area that was dug up, and workers are finishing the meter replacement.
