HOUSTON, April 4, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- CenterPoint Energy would like to remind the public of important natural gas safety tips following last night's severe weather:
* As you return to your home and business, please be alert for leaking gas. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately, and tell others to leave, too. * Do not turn the lights on or off, smoke, strike a match, use a cell phone or operate anything that might cause a spark, including a flashlight or a generator. * Do not attempt to turn natural gas valves on or off. Once safely away from the area, call 800-992-7552, and CenterPoint Energy will send a trained service technician immediately.
By following these safety tips, customers can avoid creating additional hazardous conditions as well as an interruption to service. CenterPoint Energy will continue to work around the clock to handle emergencies and restore service.
