Narrative
On august 22, 2019 at approximately 14:07 hours consumers energy was notified of an explosion that occurred at an apartment complex located at 3700 deerfield road, apt. V12 mount pleasant (isabella county) michigan. A gas service worker (gsw) was dispatched and arrived at approximately 14:39 hours. Fire and police were onsite and the meters to building v had been shut-off at the lockwing by fire personnel. The gsw monitored the area and surrounding buildings for gas migration. No additional natural gas reads were found. An incident investigation determined the natural gas meter serving unit v12 was hit by a third party performing mowing services. The impact to the meter broke the customer fuel line allowing gas to escape and enter into the building. The suspected ignition source was the water heater. The gas meter was removed from the unit and will be replaced when repairs have been completed. Estimated cost of public and non-operator private property damage is anticipated to exceed $50,000. However an exact amount has not been provided to consumers energy. On october 17, 2019 at approximately 11:08 hours the gas meter was installed at the request of the customer.
