HALIFAX – People in a north-end Halifax neighbourhood were cleared to return to their homes and workplaces Friday after a natural gas leak affecting the area was contained.
A release from the Halifax Regional Police had asked people in the densely populated area between Young Street and North Street, and bounded by Windsor Street and Agricola Street, to close their windows during the leak.
Sherry Dean, an assistant chief at the fire department, said the leak occurred at about noon Friday at a construction site in the 6100 block of Almon Street.
Dean said it was contained by mid-afternoon.
She said people in the two blocks around the leak, including those at a Canada Post sorting facility and a hardware store, were evacuated.
The gas leak occurred in an Eastward Energy local underground pipeline, and the cause was still under investigation.
