A faulty blow-off valve started leaking natural gas for the third time in two days late Friday night.
At about 10:30 p.m. Friday, the Kaufman County Office of Emergency Management, Atmos Energy and several other agencies responded to the gas leak on Farm-to-Market (FM) 148 near FM 2932 in Talty, Texas.
Steve Howie, with Kaufman County Emergency Management, said this is the third time the same valve has gone off.
The first time was on Thanksgiving morning, then again on Friday morning and now the third time late Friday night.
He said residents were told to prepare to evacuate as a precautionary measure, but at least check, that was not necessary.
Howie said the valve stopped leaking, but crews were still waiting for a specialist from Atmos Energy to inspect the gas line.
This is a developing story, check back for updates.
