Tuesday, April 29, 2008 (3 weeks ago)

This morning’s gas leak in St. Peter (7th and Pine Streets) has been fully contained and is now under control. Although people on campus may continue to smell odors throughout the day as repair work continues, we have been assured by local safety officials that there is no danger to health or safety from this situation.
