[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Intermittently over the last week-ish, I've noticed a slight odor that [i]could[/i] be natural gas in the street out front of our house. It is very inconsistent. Every time I convince myself maybe I better call it in, I put it off, then the next time I'm heading out I don't smell it anymore. I [i]think[/i] it started around the time that the water company did work on our block, but I wasn't paying that close of attention at the time. Also, my husband most of the time doesn't smell it when I do, which is weird because I actually have a relatively weak sense of smell usually. There is a dead squirrel in the next door yard, but it looks too far gone to be the source and dead animal smell is pretty distinct.

How dramatic is the response if you call 911 with this? I feel like there's a 90% chance it's nothing, and they are going to send lights and sirens and I'm going to end up feeling like an idiot with DH saying, told ya so. [b]I was hoping maybe I could just call the gas company, but their instructions are to call 911 first, then call them.[/b] Anyone called in odor of gas, and how'd it go down? Talk me into or out of it.[/quote]

That’s weird. We’ve called the gas company for this exact same thing and they came out same day and found a bad pipe. 911 does seem a bit extreme, but where I live (not DMV), sometimes the 911 folks don’t even answer the phone for immediate emergencies.[/quote]
