Officials say Southern Connecticut Gas was intentionally purging its lines as part of service to its network, and there was no emergency.

The odor was not deemed to be life-threatening, according to officials.

Bridgeport officials said residents should not report or call 911 for this issue unless they’re experiencing any health symptoms.
