SASKATOON – Two calls in the last week are prompting SaskEnergy to remind customers to call if they smell natural gas odours.

The health region building on Idylwyld Drive in Saskatoon was evacuated due to a suspected leak.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

In Regina, crews responded to a home where there was a problem, but the residents waited a couple of days before reporting it to SaskEnergy.

Officials with SaskEnergy say they would rather respond to false alarms than to not have a problem reported.

There is no charge for crews to come out and check.

Suspected gas leaks can be reported to SaskEnergy 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-888-700-0427.
