Gas leaks forced residents of Church Street Manor to evacuate their apartments twice last week. Inspectors searched for the solutions on Monday as residents made do without gas.
Residents of Church Street Manor, an affordable housing complex for the elderly and disabled in Gainesville, were evacuated twice last week after an apparent gas leak sent worry and alarm through the community. And because gas powers stoves and hot water heaters, residents have been unable to cook, shower or do laundry since last Friday. Resident Bonnie Yeary said she was told, “It wouldn’t kill you to wear dirty clothes.”
