TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, Ohio — People all across Northeast Ohio have been smelling a strong natural gas odor. In Parma, the fire department said it responded to hundreds of calls since Wednesday.
At the Canal Street Diner in Tuscarawas County, the strong smell also started on Wednesday. Columbia Gas confirmed the smell in many communities was a result of an overabundance of mercaptan, a harmless odorant that makes it easier to detect natural gas."We kind of went through the day smelling it, questioning it, and then at about 5 o clock, we were done with it.
Patterson decided to call the gas company to keep employees and customers safe,"we had Columbia Gas come, and they said that there were a few leaks. And I heard that there was too much odorant in there, and I don't know if we would have been able to smell that without that honestly, I feel like that kind of saved our butts."
