From what I understand, some repair work was being performed. Apparently the gas infrastructure there is some of the oldest in the nation.

- GW150914 8y agoI used to live in Andover, MA in a prior existence, and while the town is very rich it is also as they say, very historic. I wouldn’t be shocked if the infrastructure was ancient. As for Lawrence (disclaimer: it may have changed) it was a seriously poor former mill town, and I wouldn’t be shocked if their infrastructure and services were in awful shape.
- mc32 8y agoNot knowing any better, I could only guess something similar to the San Bruno gas explosions a couple of years ago which were caused by aging and poorly maintained mains gas pipes. Can only hope the damage is contained quick.
