Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania Gas Outage Affecting Customers in Freedom/Economy Borough, Pa.
Canonsburg, Pa. – Approximately 4,000 Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania customers in and around Baden, Conway, Economy Borough and Freedom in Beaver County are temporarily without natural gas service. Columbia Gas shut down service as a safety precaution after Columbia Gas technicians identified an issue with natural gas introduced into the system by a third-party upstream gas supplier.
Columbia Gas has taken this measure out of an abundance of caution. The restoration of service is expected to take several days.
A full list of streets affected by the outage can be found at www.ColumbiaGasPA.com/services/alert-center.
Columbia Gas has worked with the American Red Cross and local emergency management officials, and the following warming center will be open today at noon with refreshments and cots/blankets for affected customers who may want overnight accommodations:
Conway Borough Municipal Building (801 First Avenue, Conway, Pa. 15027)
The safety of our customers is our number one priority. Columbia Gas technicians have nearly completed the process of turning off all gas meters in the affected area, and plans are being finalized to reintroduce gas into the distribution system. Once we restore the flow of natural gas into the system, Columbia Gas crews will go door-to-door to perform safety checks and relight natural gas appliances. Homes where service has not been restored yet are asked to keep their porch lights on.
To learn more about the relight process, please visit www.ColumbiaGasPA.com/relight.
All Columbia Gas employees and contractors wear a company-issued ID badge with their photo on it.
For customers not home during the service restoration process, door hangers will be left at their homes informing them of the outage and requesting they call Columbia Gas at 1-888-460-4332 for a service technician to be dispatched to restore service to their homes.
We apologize for this inconvenience, and thank customers for their patience.
