Gas Natural (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The Fortis BC utility people were here working on one of their isolation valves this week. The technician said that natural gas is sniffed for in residential areas once every 5 years for leaks, 1 yr in commercial areas.
Natural gas is odorless and colorless so the utility adds chemicals to make it smell like rotten eggs.
Editors note: it is not to be confused with Carbon mon oxide which is poisonous and a by-product of burning fuel. natural gas can cause suffocation by displacing oxygen.
