WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) - Watertown firefighters were called to a natural gas leak Friday morning after a city water crew accidentally struck a gas line.

Battalion Chief Andrew Denney said the crew was digging up a water line on Gilbert Street when they hit the gas line at around 9: 30 a.m.

Firefighters evacuated four nearby homes on Gilbert and Binnes streets.

“There’s approximately four homes, a fifth, there’s no one there,” Denney said. “National Grid has instructed us that that would be sufficient as far as evacuations, so just the houses that are right close by.”

National Grid crews were able to stop the leak. Several neighboring homes won’t have gas until repairs are complete, but the people who were evacuated were able to return to their homes.
