We are aware that we have had a pipeline rupture on our Caddo Gas System. Apparently a vehicle collided with a pipeline riser located near Ellerbe Road and Robson Road in Caddo Parish. We immediately dispatched our operations personnel to shut in the system.

We have isolated the system surrounding the damaged pipeline and the pipeline system is currently being depressurized.  Once the system is fully depressurized we will be able to determine the full extent of the damage to the pipeline.

We are monitoring the system pressures remotely and with operations personnel currently located on the scene and are working with the Sheriff's department and local law enforcement personnel to ensure the safety of the community.
