Two ways natural gas may be escaping at your meter

by Ingrid Lobet November 3, 2017August 29, 2021 Why you can trust inewsource

Natural gas is leaking – sometimes deliberately – from residential gas meters up and down the state of California. That surprise is buried in state documents, a review by inewsource has found. The leaks don’t mean you’re in danger of an explosion. But tiny amounts of natural gas escaping from gas meters not only cost […]
