    An excavator operator hit a gas main at the intersection of Mitchell and Cumberland Roads on the morning of Thursday, June 10 around 8 am. Centerpoint Energy crews responded and had the gas shut off by 9:30 am, and Mitchell Road was reopened soon after.

    Jon Sogard of the Minnesota Office of Pipeline Safety

    Two homeowners temporarily lost gas service, but no one was hurt.

    The accident occurred during a repaving of Cumberland Road that Carter Schulze, Engineering Project Manager for the city, estimated would be complete in 2 1/2 weeks.

    Schulze said repairs were completed and gas service was restored by early Thursday afternoon.
