Leak found in jet fuel pipeline at Travis
Leak found in jet fuel pipeline at Travis

A jet fuel leak was discovered Tuesday coming from an Air Force-owned pipeline near Travis Air Force Base, Calif., base officials said.

Local contractors working off base discovered the leak at about noon and notified base authorities. A base spokeswoman said Wednesday that the 8-inch-diameter pipeline is no longer leaking fuel.

Base, local, county and state officials are working to discover the cause of the leak and to prevent any environmental damage.

“It didn’t pose a threat to any local residents or the environment,” the spokeswoman said.

The leak was found at about noon Tuesday near the intersection of Highway 12 and Lawler Ranch Road in Suisun City, Calif.
