Midtown Gas Pipe Damaged, Leaking

A gas line broke and began leaking in Midtown Wednesday afternoon.

A one and one-quarter inch steel gas pipe was damaged by a contractor, according to an SDG&E spokesperson.

The leak occurred on Union Street in a residential neighborhood.

No evacuations were ordered and no outages will occur for those in the area, SDG&E told NBC 7.

The nearby intersection was blocked for maintenance, said the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.

Crews were called in at around 12:10 p.m. However, they said they aren’t sure how long the repairs will take.

No other information was reported at this time.
