Eversource has begun an unscheduled repair of the natural gas line as of about 9 p.m. Monday night, Monroe police said.
Many residents have reported their gas is not working, and Eversource is trying to resolve the issue, police said.
"We've been told that Eversource will be working throughout the night and going door to door checking gas service once they find the underlying issue," police said. "If you have service issues contact Eversource. If you have an emergency, call 911."
If your service is involved, you may receive the following message directly from Eversource:
