TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) — Atmos Energy has restored natural gas service to almost 17,000 customers in and around Tupelo.

The company restored service to approximately 16,800 customers as of Monday afternoon, March 24.

A pipeline accident on March 12 knocked out service to approximately 17,000 customers in Tupelo, Lee County and parts of Pontotoc County.

Atmos crews went door-to-door after the accident to shut off service to these customers.

They spent more than a week returning to these customers to manually restart service.

Crews needed adult residents on-site during the restoration process and left a call-back number for customers not home.

Anyone still without service should call 866-322-8667 and press the one button to schedule an appointment.
