Maybe another "Classic" negative comment will help out with that. Is anyone equipped to operate a telephone anymore?

It appears that area has working "911"; so very likely any home owner Josie could manage to do something. Just think three numerals to dial. That doesn't look to technical or very dangerous. Got any volunteers to work those phones?

tjm Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 If it's gas I doubt there's much lake pollution going on gasoline flashes off fairly easily even in cold temps, so would be an air issue. It does sound sorta dangerous to unaware visitors. 700' of 2" pipe would hold about 140 gallons and if the only shut off is 700' away, it almost sounds like a safety issue at all times.

Old plug Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 If it is a leak is in a above ground pipe it can be stopped but putting a sleve on it. To be truthful I cannot believe the situation has gone for as long as it has. The Police or county sheriff would have to have reacted long ago. Geez never heard such stuff.

tjm Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 fwiw, duct tape will stop a no pressure leak. Just go round and round. But ultimately the emergency services need notifying, call 911 immediately and let trained personnel deal with it.
