An incident involving a gas leak occurred earlier today at the corner of E. Main Street and N. Lathrop Street. Out of an abundance of caution, residents of 15 neighboring homes were evacuated.
We are pleased to report that E. Main Street is now back open to traffic. CenterPoint Energy is currently on-site performing repairs, and the gas has been safely shut off.
Evacuated residents are expected to be able to return to their homes later this afternoon. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as emergency crews work to resolve this issue.
