Crews Responding To Earthquake In Northern Nevada & California
Southwest Gas crews have responded to our service area in Northern Nevada following an earthquake that impacted the area on Monday (12/9/24). Safety is always our top priority, and crews will continue to survey and patrol natural gas infrastructure in Dayton, Fallon, Fernley, and Yerington. Preliminary reports from our patrols indicate no significant impact on our natural gas system.
As a reminder, leave the area immediately and call 911 and Southwest Gas:
- If you smell the distinct sulfur-like odor of natural gas, similar to rotten eggs, even if it’s faint or momentary,
- If you hear a hissing or roaring sound coming from the ground, above-ground pipeline or natural gas appliance
- If you see dirt or water blowing into the air
- If you suspect a natural gas pipeline is damaged, ruptured.
