The leak on the pipeline did not create a public health threat but did require the shutdown of the largest fuel pipeline in the U.S. for much of this week.

One of the Colonial Pipeline’s main lines suffered a gasoline leak in Paulding County on Tuesday — and now, officials estimate it will remain shut down for several more days.

PAUDLING COUNTY, — The Alpharetta-based Colonial Pipeline Company is now investigating reports of a possible leak in the nation’s biggest gasoline pipeline in Paulding County and says it has temporarily shut down one of its lines. Details are limited, but they say crews are on scene. Tuesday’s shutdown is expected to last 12 hours.
