Long gas lines hit Las Vegas after CA pipeline leak

News of a gasoline pipeline spill in California caused some Las Vegans to flock to fill up their tanks on Friday.

KTNV heard reports of long lines at gas stations across the valley. Photojournalist Jim Flint caught up with a few drivers at a Chevron station near Cheyenne Avenue and the 215 beltway, who said they wanted to make sure they had enough fuel in their tank.

A spokesperson for Clark County confirmed the impacted pipeline supplies unleaded and diesel fuel to Southern Nevada — but gave no indication residents should expect an immediate impact on the valley’s gas supply.

Emergency managers “believe we have adequate supply, and do not anticipate an immediate impact on gas availability,” the spokesperson wrote.
