Natural gas has a rotten egg smell added to it so you can detect a gas leak.

Gas is flammable and a gas leak can be dangerous. If it smells like rotten eggs or sulfur in or around your home, you should follow the below steps immediately:

If you’re inside:

• Remove any ignition sources (don’t use electrical appliances, mobile phones, light switches, or smoke).
• Leave the building quickly.
• Call ATCO on 13 13 52 to report a suspected gas leak.

If you’re outside:

• Move away from the smell of gas.
• Call ATCO on 13 13 52 or report the gas smell via ATCO’s Gas Leak Reporting form.

If you believe there is a major gas leak that may be dangerous to life or property, call 000.
