Gas Service Disruption Affects Thousands in Pittsburgh-Area

Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania has temporarily halted natural gas service for approximately 4,000 customers in the Baden, Conway, Economy, and Freedom communities in Beaver County due to an issue with natural gas introduced into the system by a third-party supplier. The shutdown is a safety precaution, and restoration of service is expected to take several days. Columbia Gas technicians are turning off gas meters, performing safety checks, and relighting natural gas appliances. Affected customers are advised to call Columbia Gas for service restoration.
