Safety: Austell Gas System regards the customer's safety as the highest consideration in providing gas service.  Natural gas is a clean, reliable and safe source of energy.  Reasonable care should be exercised to insure the safe operation of gas appliances.  System personnel are available at all times to investigate gas leaks or situations where hazard or damage to property could occur. If you detect faint whiffs of this odor: Investigate.  If possible "follow your nose" to the source.  It may be only a pilot light that's out, or a burner valve partially turned on...something easily and safely corrected.  If the source of the gas cannot be located or if the odor persists, call us for assistance: 770-948-1841. If you smell this odor rising intensely, or it seems to be everywhere: OUTDOORS - Call the gas company IMMEDIATELY! INDOORS - Leave the premises IMMEDIATELY... Don't light a match/lighter or turn any electrical switches on or off.......Then go to the nearest telephone and call us: 770-948-1841.
