San Rafael Gas Line Break Closes Neighborhood Road

Gas service was interrupted for part of the Santa Venetia neighborhood and residents were told to shelter in place after a communication company ruptured a 2-inch gas line Monday afternoon.

PG&E and San Rafael Fire Department officials were still doing repairs at the scene, at Woodoaks Drive and N. San Pedro Road, around 4:30 p.m. 

Woodoaks Drive was expected to be closed for "several hours" for the repairs, according to San Rafael Fire Chief Chris Gray.

Nearby residents were told to stay in their homes until the repair was complete and to call 911 if they smell gas in their home, Gray said. 

No injuries were reported and no evacuations occurred as a result of the leak, Gray said.
