Columbia Gas admits they missed the home in North Franklin Township that exploded while during upgrade work in the area. President Michael Huwar (pictured) says the installation of pressure regulators on each home was part of the modernization work that had been taking place in the township. He says they missed the home along Park Lane in both thier initial design work and during a secondary field survey. He called the homes remote location from the main “an anomaly”. According to Huwar, when the new system was engaged the lack of a pressure regulator on the home led to a leak which then caused the explosion. The home owner had called 9-1-1 to report the smell of gas and two township firefighters came to the home and shut off gas service. They were standing just outside the home a short time later when it exploded. All three have since been released from the hospital. Columbia Gas says its investigation continues. State Police are also investigating. (Photo: WPXI)
