If it smells like rotten
eggs, it may be the scent of safety.
Natural gas in its original
state is odorless and colorless, so Elk River Public Utility District has added
a distinctive chemical odorant to help you recognize it.
We constantly monitor
odorant injection levels into our distribution system to insure the highest
possible safety standards for our customers.
The odor smells bad on
purpose so you can identify natural gas even in small amounts.
If you are not familiar
with the odorant in natural gas, please drop by any of our conveniently located
offices and we will be happy to give you a "scratch and sniff" sample
of the odorant.
If you ever think you smell
natural gas, please give us a call and we will be glad to dispatch our trained
technicians to investigate the situation immediately.
Our emergency dispatchers
are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist you in any natural
gas emergency.
