Some homes on the east side of Bowling Green had to be evacuated this morning when a gas line break occurred.
As of 1 p.m., the break was repaired by Columbia Gas.
A saw was being used to cut the asphalt on Clough Street to start trench work for excavation work for waterline work.
According to Brian O’Connell, city utilities director, the gas line was fairly shallow in the area, and the saw cut into it.
Just one person actually had to be evacuated, O’Connell said.
During the repair work, some streets were closed, including Clough between South Prospect and South Enterprise, and South Summit between Wooster and Lincoln.
According to O’Connell, the waterline contractor continued work at the other end of the waterline project, so no delay are expected on that work.
