Overview
- Residents packed a special council meeting Wednesday night, arguing the city failed to inform or guide evacuees after the March 19 house explosion.
- Atmos Energy told the meeting it found a leak on its gas main under Wilson Drive near 620 Moseley and sent a pipe section to a lab to pinpoint the cause and timing.
- After pressure tests and leak surveys late last week, Atmos said the rest of its system was operating as expected and reported no other leaks tied to the blast.
- The company said the problem pipe was a short 1970s segment installed by a predecessor and said it is removing about two miles of that legacy material in Lake Dallas.
- City Manager Luke Olson conceded the city lacks a resident alert system and said leaders will consider one in budget talks as the Texas Railroad Commission continues its investigation.
