There was a gas leak earlier today in the Six Mile area on the North Shore of Kootenay Lake. FortisBC spokesperson Nicole Bogdanovic says it happened at the 2600 block on Highway 3A and affected a small hotel in the area. She says crews had to repair the line after it was damaged by a third party.
She says it appeared there was only one customer affected. She says she doesn’t know exactly what happened – just that it was third party damage to the system. She says it’s always a good reminder to call before you dig.
