Atmos Energy crews continued to work on replacing and repairing miles of natural gas lines in the northwest Dallas neighborhood where a home exploded last week.

Atmos Energy crews continued to work on replacing and repairing miles of natural gas lines in the northwest Dallas neighborhood where a home exploded last week.

The company also released a map showing where gas service was and wasn't available in the affected area, which encompassed about 2,800 homes. The map will update when changes are made.

Atmos employees will have to enter each home to re-establish the gas connection where the service is available. For more information, go here.

As of 5 p.m. Saturday, only a handful of streets had gas service. The outage area stretched from just north of Northwest Highway to Walnut Hill Lane, covering both sides of Marsh Lane.

Residents remained anxious to return home.

"Well, we just don’t feel safe at all,” Daisy Gonzalez told WFAA on Friday.

She and her family are concerned as they watch Atmos Energy crews working to replace natural gas lines around their northwest Dallas neighborhood.

The Gonzalez family is among many families who say they are concerned ever since Atmos Energy disconnected gas service in an expanded area affecting about 2,800 homes.

"It’s really frustrating because we don’t have nowhere to go take a shower. We have to come home, take bags, then go to the hotel," Nancy Gonzalez said.

The National Safety Transportation Board and Texas Railroad Commission are among the agencies saturating the area. They are investigating the two gas-related fires and the deadly natural gas explosion that destroyed a house on Espanola one week ago. A memorial continues to grow in memory of Linda Michellita Rogers, the 12-year-old girl who was killed in that house explosion.
