DALLAS — A Downtown Dallas apartment high-rise had to be evacuated and streets closed after a gas leak and water main break, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue.
Atmos Energy told WFAA that a construction crew was working near 300 South St. Paul St. and damaged a natural gas pipeline. Dallas Fire-Rescue also confirmed that a water main was damaged, causing a break, but the water has been shut off.
DFR units responded to the scene at about 2:05 p.m. and evacuated an unknown number of residents from the ironically named Lone Star Gas Lofts to a nearby hotel.
According to DFR, the surrounding streets have been closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic as Atmos Energy works to fix the leak. Nearby residents should seek an alternate route home.
