Gas Restored to Thousands in Devon After Overnight Repair
Update: 2026-01-04
Description
Engineers from Wales and West Utilities worked tirelessly overnight to repair a damaged mains gas pipe near Kingsbridge in Devon, restoring supply to thousands of homes and businesses. The pipe is now fixed, but crews must visit each affected property twice. Some customers may see their supply restored as early as Sunday, while others might have to wait until Monday or Tuesday. The company urges everyone to be home on Sunday when engineers knock, with over one hundred specialists drafted in to speed up the process. Local businesses, like Pizza Planet, had to close due to the outage. The incident was caused by a third party damaging the pipe while working on land. A yellow warning for ice covers the South West from four PM Saturday until noon Sunday, adding to the challenges. Gas supply should return to normal soon, so stay patient and ready for the doorbell.
