Overview
- About 11,000 GRDF customers across roughly 20 communes in southern Vaucluse and northern Bouches-du-Rhône remain without gas as of Sunday.
- The rupture occurred Friday near chemin de Romanin in Saint‑Rémy‑de‑Provence, leaving a large crater and a torn pipeline with scorched olive trees.
- GRDF and transporter NaTran have mobilized about 40 staff, working Sunday from Châteaurenard on repairs to the transmission line.
- Supply will return first to public establishments and priority households, with wider reconnection expected to take several days; one mayor told residents to expect service no earlier than Wednesday.
- Residents report daily disruptions such as no hot water and improvised heating, including 350 affected households in Cavaillon.
