Black Hills Energy technicians have been responding to reports of damage from the Sunday morning storms. As a result, Black Hills Energy has shut off natural gas service as required for the safety of customers and the public.
Customers are urged to inspect their natural gas meters for damage and offers these reminders:
– Natural gas smells like rotten eggs for a reason. If anyone smells this scent they should immediately leave the area and call 911 away from the site, then call Black Hills Energy at 888-890-5554.
– Residents should wait for Black Hills Energy or emergency personnel to arrive before re-entering the building. Emergency personnel will let residents know when it is safe to return.
– Do not turn on lights, ignite a flame, use a cellphone or use anything that might cause a spark, including a flashlight or a generator.
If anyone needs assistance, call Black Hills Energy at 888-890-5554.
