Reading, PA - UGI Utilities, Inc., crews are fully staffed to respond to any interruptions of service to Penn Natural Gas customers as a result of Hurricane Sandy.
Thus far, Hurricane Sandy has caused minimal impact to UGI's natural gas system but crews are continuing to monitor low-lying areas and levels of creeks, streams and rivers for potential flooding. Crews also are checking UGI facilities for gas lines exposed by rushing waters, fallen trees and other storm-related damages.
Customers whose natural gas service has been affected by severe flooding conditions are asked to contact UGI Utilities' emergency number at 1-800-276-2722. If you smell gas, which has an odorant added to aid in detection similar to that of rotten eggs, leave the building immediately and call UGI at 1-800-276-2722 from a neighbor's phone or your mobile phone.

Should your home or business be affected by floodwater, under no circumstances should you attempt to turn your gas supply on or off yourself. Submerged gas meters or regulators must be turned off and inspected by qualified utility personnel before service can be restored.
