Jemena is currently working with emergency services to support flood response efforts in Forbes, NSW.
As a safety measure, Jemena's field crews are visiting homes to isolate gas services at the meter, in locations where residents have been advised to evacuate by the New South Wales Emergency Service (NSW SES).
Jemena will reconnect customers when they can safely return to their homes and Jemena can access the meter.
Forbes residents affected by flooding who intend to remain at their property and consider their meter is likely to be submerged, should isolate their gas service at the Meter Control Valve (MCV), if it is safe to do so. Instructions on how to do this safely are available through https://www.jemena.com.au/outages-and-faults/gas
The safety of the community and our people is our number one priority. For gas emergencies please call us on 131 909. Current outage information is available at www.jemena.com.au/outages-and-faults/gas.
