Natural gas leak shuts down portion of Fresno State

Repairs on a natural gas leak discovered Thursday at Fresno State will shut down gas service to several areas of the campus on Friday.

In an email sent to staff, the university said the leak was discovered near McLane Hall. Natural gas service was shut down for a brief time on the eastern side of the campus, as well as University High School and the Save Mart Center. It was restored Thursday afternoon.

However, natural gas will again be shut off for the Henry Madden Library, the north and south gymnasiums, the north gym annex and aquatics center, the University Student Union, McClane Hall and the Engineering West building on Friday morning for repairs. No timetable for the repairs was given.
