N. Tampa Gas Smell No Cause For Worry, Company Says

Published: July 31, 2008
TAMPA - Officials this morning advised residents in North Tampa not to be alarmed by an odor of natural gas.
Workers from People's Gas accidentally released a small amount of gas from a gas-gate station at North 12th Street and East Fowler Avenue while purging a line about 8 a.m., agency spokesman Lance Horton said.
There is no health risk, but the odor there is strong because of the "odorant" People's Gas puts into the gas so it can be detected, Horton said.
"Because the concentration of the odorant is so high, that's why everybody is smelling the gas," he said.
