Narrative
On january 27, 2022, at approximately 1:06 am, a passerby made an emergency report that a vehicle had damaged natural gas facilities near 8514 east parmer lane. The natural gas facilities at this location are primarily owned and operated by texas gas service (tgs), and tgs representatives were on the scene. Atmos service technician arrived at 2:34 am, verified that the gas was shut off, and requested that a measurement, instrument, and controls (mic)technician be dispatched to the scene as well. The mic technician was immediately dispatched. Tgs handled the removal of the vehicle and temporary fencing. Atmos energy was onsite, standing by. Preliminarily, it appeared that the property damage was nearly entirely damage to the facilities of tgs rather than the facilities of atmos energy. However, during the course of the emergency response, at approximately 9:30 am cst, atmos energy determined there may be sufficient damage to atmos energy's property to exceed the cost threshold established in 49 cfr 191.3. Therefore, atmos energy reported the event to nrc at 10:07 am cst. A clamp-on ultrasonic meter was installed and temporary repairs were made to be able to place station back in service. Service from atmos energy to tgs was restored on february 3, 2022, at 5:45 pm.
