Crash causes New RP homeless count and

By Katherinesmall Minkiewicz gas leak SR homeless camp eviction A gas leak that occurred Saturday, Feb. 10 at a small Commerce Boulevard apartment complex was caused by a vehicle collision with the gas line meter risers PG&E officials are saying, which af- fected eight meters and caused a small evacuation of the complex. PG&E spokesperson Deanna Contreras, says the incident oc- curred around 8:30 a.m. after the vehicle was discovered to have cracked the risers, affecting eight of the meters. “Gas was blowing out, so the small apartment complex was evac- uated and eight PG&E customers were affected,” Contreras said. According to the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety, no- body was hurt in the incident, however, the leak did displace resi- dents for around two hours while PG&E crews worked on making repairs. “The risers (a piping component for the gas line that distributes the gas from below ground to above ground) had to be replaced and pilot lights had to be relighted. Crews made the repairs by around 10:30 a.m.,” Contreras said. Commander Jeff Taylor of the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety said the gas line in question that was struck was a high pres- sure gas line, which Contreras says caused the need for the pilot lights to be relit multiple times after the repairs were made. According to a report released on Nixle, the area around the Com- merce Boulevard apartment complex was reopened quickly after the repairs were made and residents were allowed to return to their homes. Contreras reminded everyone that it’s important to evacuate and immediately call 9-1-1 and PG&E (1-800-743-5000) if you smell The “Where will they go?” event, Wednesday, Feb. 14 in Roseland near Camp 777 on Sebastopol Road, brought up the issue of home- gas in or around your home. lessness and camp residents’ fear of lack of aid from Sonoma County.
