Cause of downtown Bozeman explosion announced; from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, Friday, March 13, 2009

The natural gas leak that likely led to the explosion in downtown Bozeman last week was in a service line between the main gas line and the Montana Trails Gallery, investigators said Friday morning.

The service line is the responsibility of NorthWestern Energy, officials said.

The explosion killed one woman and destroyed numerous downtown Bozeman businesses.
