Wales & West Utilities is carrying out emergency work to repair a gas leak on Carmarthen Road in Swansea.
The gas emergency and pipeline service is carrying out the work at the junction of Carmarthen Road and Fforestfach Industrial Estate, and a partial lane closure is in place. The team are working as quickly and safely as possible to complete the work, but, at present, timings are unknown.
Wales & West Utilities Ian Callaghan is managing this work and said:
We know that working in areas like this is not ideal, but it really is essential to make sure we keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future.
While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across Swansea. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
This work is essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane, so we can all play our part in a green future.
