Residents of four buildings at an F Street apartment complex were displaced overnight Saturday as PG&E crews repaired an underground gas leak.
Paul Swanson, division chief for the Davis Fire Department, said residents of the Parkside Apartments, 1521 F St., reported a natural gas smell at about 11 p.m. Fire crews summoned PG&E workers to the scene to determine the source.
The leak was traced to an underground service line, Swanson said. Sixteen apartment units were evacuated while utility workers isolated and repaired the leak, a process that lasted until the following morning.
Swanson said cause of the leak is being investigated. No construction activity was occurring on the property at the time.
