KINSTON, N.C. (WITN) - Residents in a Kinston public housing complex can return home after a major gas main leak this morning.
Authorities say around 9:00 a.m. a construction crew hit a 2-inch natural gas main at East King Street and South McDaniels Street. Crews were demolishing an old part of the Simon Bright housing project and thought that all underground lines had been properly marked.
Fire Captain Chad Jackson said residents of one building in the public housing complex were evacuated because they were close to the leak. They were sent to the Simon Bright Community Center.
Piedmont Natural Gas fixed the leak and firefighters then confirmed there were no hazardous gas levels remaining in any of the buildings. Residents were then allowed to go home.
Gas company workers will remain at the location for the remainder of the afternoon.
