Emergencies

To report a gas leak, call 402.554.7777.

In an emergency or disaster, turn off all gas appliances as you would if you were leaving your home -- like the stove, oven, gas fireplace, etc. If there is a situation where gas needs to be shut off, M.U.D. will take care of it, and keep customers informed via the news media.

1. If you detect a faint odor of natural gas, check the pilot lights. If the pilot light or burner flame is out, shut off the gas supply. Allow ample time for any gas accumulation to escape before relighting.
2. If you smell an odor or know there is a damaged gas line, do not light any matches, candles, cigarette lighters, flashlights, motors or appliances. Don't use the light switch, telephone or cell phone.
3. Get everyone out of the building. Call us at 402.554.7777 to have the gas shut off from a phone not located in the building.
