Identifying a Pipeline Leak

Use your sight, smell and hearing to help recognize a pipeline leak. 
 

Do you see . . .

• Dead or discolored vegetation.

• Pooling of liquids on the ground.

• Bubbling in pools of water.

• Sheen on the surface on water.

• A white vapor cloud that resembles smoke.

• Dirt blowing from a hole in the ground.

Do you smell . . . 

• An odor like petroleum liquids or gasoline.

• An odor like rotten eggs or a burnt match.

Do you hear . . .

• A hissing or whistling noise.
