Gas Leaks

Natural gas has no odour. To help you detect the presence of gas, a strong odorant that smells like rotten eggs is added.
If you smell this odour inside:

• Ventilate the area by opening nearby doors and windows.
• Evacuate the area and turn off the gas supply (if safe to do so).
• Do not use a source of ignition such as matches or cigarette lighters.
• Seek expert advice by calling your gas supplier Faults & Emergencies number (can be found on your bill)

If you smell gas outside:

• Contact your gas supllier Faults and Emergencies number
• Remove all ignition sources from the area.
• If safe to do so, turn off the gas supply.

In the event of an emergency such as a gas leak or bushfire, turn off your natural gas supply by turning the yellow valve lever on your meter so it runs perpendicular to the pipe. (see image below)
