A new crew came on at 5 p.m. Thursday as SaskEnergy continues to look for a gas leak near Leader. The junction of Highways 32 and 21 near Leader shut down at lunch yesterday, again, to aid SaskEnergy’s efforts to track down a natural gas leak.

SaskEnergy is concentrating their focus on that area which is also where they have some above ground infrastructure located. SaskEnergy officials say their technicians were called after an employee with the Town of Leader reported an odour in the vicinity of the community shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday.

There is no public safety concern at this time and crews will remain on site until the location is verified and repairs are complete. Natural gas service remains uninterrupted.
