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.
