Settlement accepted in gas leak cases

Posted: Updated:

CHATHAM CO., GA (WTOC) -

The Georgia Public Service Commission has approved a settlement between the state of Georgia and Atlanta Gas Light Company.

The settlement came about after three separate incidents of gas line being ruptured. Construction crews ruptured a gas line at Whitfield Avenue and Diamond Causeway two days in a row, causing major traffic problems.

The $50,000 settlement will be split between the Georgia National Guard Foundation to help soldiers with utility bills. The other half will go to Heat Inc., a non-profit that helps low-income Georgians who have had their heat turned off.
