A plumbing company operating a backhoe led to the December 2022 home explosion in Susquehanna Township, according to the Safety Division of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.
The explosion – which took place on the 3200 block of Crest Road on Dec. 13, 2022 – leveled one home, damaged surrounding structures and hospitalized a UGI employee and a neighbor. Some
Investigators with the PUC determined the plumbing company submitted a request – through the “Pennsylvania One Call” system, which is designed to prevent damage to underground utility lines – on Dec. 12, 2022, to have the utilities around 3204 Crest Road marked, but UGI did not mark the utilities by Dec. 13, 2022, when excavation work started, according to a press release.
During the excavation work, a backhoe operated by employees of Pronto Plumbing damaged a natural gas line to the home around 9 a.m., prompting the 911 call. The home exploded approximately 30 minutes later, according to the release. Authorities with the PUC and the Lower Paxton Township Fire Marshal will continue to investigate the explosion and compliance with state and federal pipeline safety regulations and Pennsylvania’s “One Call Law,” the release says.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
