A Vectren crew remains on scene, working to stop the leak.
Augustine said crews kept people at the pool, which is near the source of the leak, but evacuated it about 8:20 p.m. when the wind shifted toward the facility.
He said he had no information whether the company, which he did not name, checked the residential property for gas lines before digging.
Crews were dispatched just after 7 p.m. on the report of a gas leak.
Streets at either end of Ambridge Road -- Bigger Road as well as Rolling Oak and Langdon/Park Creek drives -- will remain closed until further notice, he said.
UPDATE @ 8:33 p.m.:
