Uptown gas leak finally identified

3/25/2010:

More bumpy roads, but less explosive gas

After nearly two years trying to find the source of the natural gas smell that had Hoboken residents near 12th and Washington worried – PSE&G finally located the actual problem yesterday.

They discovered the leak late in the afternoon yesterday, which was close to a major electrical junction box underneath the pavement. This requires the added expertise of electrical engineers, who will come down today to assist with the precarious repair process.
