SMELL GAS? ACT FAST.
Natural gas is a colorless, odorless fuel, but for safety rea
sons, a chemical odorant sometimes described as a “rotten
egg” smell is added, making the presence of gas detectable.
IF YOU SMELL THIS ODOR:
• Alert others and leave the area immediately.
• Leave the door open as you exit.
• Do not operate electric lights, appliances or other equipment such as
telephones, cell phones, or flashlights.
• Go to a phone away from the area and call Atlanta Gas Light.
Natural gas odors should be reported right away. Do not
try to locate the source of the smell.
If you smell natural gas, call Atlanta Gas Light at 877-427-4321.
