Around thirty houses confined
A gas pipe renovation project is currently taking place on the axis. But the workers of the service company were no longer at work when the incident was reported on this old metal pipe, immersed in water. With the fuel circulating there under a low pressure, less than four bars, GrDF technicians were able to plug the pipe without cutting off power to neighboring customers.
For safety, the thirteen mobilized firefighters confined the residents of the neighborhood to a perimeter of 50 meters around the leak point, or around thirty homes. Their intervention concluded around 7:30 p.m.
