Natural gas is the next resource to go during the brisk winter storm. Texas Gas Service responded to a natural gas outage on E. 12th Street Wednesday night and is warning of other potential outages.
The outage affected over 300 homes that include the neighborhood between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and 12th Street. There is currently not a clear reason on what caused the leak.
.@TexasGasService provided me with this map of the affected area. Still no word on what caused the leak or when it will be fixed. I'm in direct contact with the company and will bring you updates as I get them. pic.twitter.com/rEn5eOcn1y
