There is currently a natural gas leak on E Jewett Blvd. and NE Vine St. in White Salmon. KPUD is on site and is de-energizing a section of underground line. We have spoken to these customers.
There is a possibility KPUD may be requested to de-energize a larger number of customers as a safety precaution for those working to repair the gas leak. This would affect the town of White Salmon.
