AUSTIN, Texas — It's been almost a month since a natural gas leak forced people out of parts of Georgetown. Some have gone back, but not many.
Sixty-eight homes and 65 businesses are still under evacuation orders. It's happening near Williams Drive and River Bend.
There's still no official timeline on when things will return to normal, but two business owners in the affected area are wanting to know more.
When driving around Georgetown, especially near Williams Drive, it's become common to see orange fences, closed businesses and vacuum units releasing trapped natural gas from the ground.
"We don't necessarily need a resolution tomorrow," said David Hood, owner of Leaps and Bounds daycare. "But a timeline towards a resolution is definitely something we've been asking for since March first."
The company has been displaced since March 1 and is now wanting to know why they can't be there.
An Atmos Energy representative couldn't answer that but in a statement to KVUE said: "We continue to monitor and survey our system, and the main issue being addressed is the unique soil conditions in this area that are causing residual gas to ventilate slowly."
But it's still frustrating for Hood.
"We're not Atmos customers," he said. "We don't have Atmos gas in our business. The only Atmos effect we have is the Atmos effect here, is the Atmos pipe in the back. I don't know where we're at or who has the answers, but we hope somebody can get some soon."
For now, they set up shop inside of Head Start on the other side of town.
"Super, super frustrating," said Kristin Hood, who runs the daycare.
She says luckily the parent of the kids have been understanding.
"Oh yes, I've only had maybe one or two that have been like, 'We'll wait till you get back to the building,," she said. "But they don't know when we can go back."
Right now they still have no clue as to when things can go back to normal.
