The storm drain leads to Stevens Creek. The water is still releasing at a rate of about 60 gallons per minute. Creek Line Drive, Jeanette Drive, November Drive and Kenmore Drive are all closed to traffic in the area due to this.

The natural gas release is 10% of the LEO (lower explosive limit) at the source near the street. A representative from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is on scene. San Jose Water Department representative is also on scene. The Santa Clara County Sheriffs Department is on scene as well.
