Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General 

This week, my office charged Equitrans, L.P. regarding the energy company’s failure to fix a natural gas leak that caused a 2018 house explosion in Greene County.

A couple and their four-year-old son suffered severe burns in the explosion on October 31, 2018.

An investigation by my office found a natural gas well near the family’s home was deteriorating and leaking gas for years, resulting in methane contamination of the home’s water supply.

This brave family has endured significant hardship, suffering physical and emotional injuries, financial stress, and the loss of their family home and cherished personal belongings.

Pennsylvanians have a right to feel safe in their homes, without concern for large corporations creating environmental hazards. My office will enforce the laws if companies fail to maintain the health, safety, and welfare of the communities where they work.
