Emergency crews evacuated 100 Waterfront Street in New Haven after a work crew ruptured a gas line on Monday afternoon, but the scene has since cleared.
Assistant New Haven Fire Chief Thomas Neville said crews using excavators for private work hit a 2-inch gas line, which feeds Greenleaf Biofuels at 100 Waterfront, and the building was evacuated.
A team from Southern Connecticut Gas responded and shut down the gas line, which had just been updated, as well as heat to Greenleaf Biofuels.
The fire department used meters to ensure that the buildings are safe and a hazmat also responded.
The scene is now clear.
