CENTERVILLE, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says a leaking gas tank has been discovered at a service station in Centerville.

Officials say workers at the Kum N Go station on N. Street in Centerville discovered the leak from 1 of their tanks Wednesday.

Although local officials had not detected any gasoline or gasoline vapor in city sewer systems, residents near the station were warned to call 911 if they smell gasoline in their basements.

The DNR says an estimated 3,000 gallons of gasoline appeared to have leaked from the tank.
