I would not assume the worst. It appears that Rubis mobilized both internal and external resources immediately after discovering the leak and they have advised that based on testing so far it looks like the leak is contained within Rubis’ property – it could have been a lot worse! We are all consumers of gas and we must accept there is a risk that environmental pollution could occur through the transportation and distribution of fuel. Rubis has an obligation to ensure that the equipment is well maintained and pipes not allowed to corrode to the point of failure, but we should not judge the cause or cast blame until the assessment is concluded.

RUBiS have not told us what the cause is, they have not said how much gas leaked and they have not told us what they are doing to fix it all.
By withholding so much important information we must only assume the worst.
