PG&E Will Work On Natural Gas Pipeline In Marin

NOVATO, CA — After a gas leak last week, PG&E will conduct gas venting work Monday and Tuesday in Novato, police said.

The Novato Police Department sent out an alert Wednesday morning that PG&E would be performing natural-gas venting near Redwood Boulevard and S. Novato Boulevard Monday and Tuesday in Novato.

Police said the work is not expected to impact gas service but while crews work, locals may smell gas and hear a loud hissing noise while the gas is released in a safe and controlled manner.

Around 6 p.m. on Wednesday, the NPD closed down Novato Boulevard between Diablo Avenue and 7th Street after a gas leak was reported, police said.

On Thursday, the NPD closed down the same area of road again to allow PG&E to conduct repairs on the reported gas leak, police said.
