Indoor Gas Leaks: Shut Off Gas at the Service Meter

You may control an indoor gas leak by turning off gas at an aboveground service shutoff valve provided you have been trained to do so and it is safe to do so. Follow your department’s guidelines with respect to operating gas service meter shutoff valves.

After the service valve has been closed, DO NOT open it under any circumstances. Only NIPSCO personnel may restore gas service.

You MUST inform NIPSCO of any valve you have closed and its precise location. This information is critical for system safety and service restoration.
