We’ve received several calls this morning about the smell of natural gas around town. We’ve confirmed that PG&E is performing routine gas-line purging in the area, which can temporarily cause a noticeable odor in the air.

This work is not an emergency, and there is no active gas leak. The foggy weather is also holding the scent closer to the ground, making it more noticeable than usual.

While PG&E did not notify the City in advance (we’re following up with them about that), we want to make sure residents have the correct information.

If you ever smell gas inside your home or believe there is an immediate safety concern, please contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 or call 911.

We’ll share any additional updates if we receive them. Thank you for your patience. — City of Isleton
