SUMMARY: Months after gas explosions destroyed homes and cost a woman her life in South Jackson, investigation into the incidents revealed that natural gas lines in the city need repairs. Atmos Energy identified gas leaks in the area before the explosions, but considered them non-hazardous. The fallout from the explosions has led to concerns about gas pipeline safety in the city and statewide. Atmos Energy claims to prioritize safety and invest in enhancements, but concerns remain about the extent of the gas leak problem beyond Jackson. Public Service Commissioner Decatur Stamps emphasized the importance of safety measures such as calling 911 if gas is smelled and calling 811 before digging.
