Residents of Leuven care home regain heat after gas leak discovery

Fluvius restored heating and hot water to the Edouard Remy residential care center in Leuven, Belgium, after a suspected gas leak led to a utility shutoff.

The utility company Fluvius cut off the gas supply three days ago after a routine check revealed a potential leak within the building. This action left residents without central heating or hot water starting on Tuesday.

Staff at the care center installed two external heating units to provide warmth to the residents while the gas issue remains under investigation. Technicians identified the source of the gas loss and are now performing permanent repairs. The facility will require a new inspection of its gas installation once the work is finished.
