Shortly after midnight, a member of District 1 RCMP detected a foul smell while patrolling near the intersection of Main and Portage Streets.
The St. George Fire Department and Enbridge Gas were called to the scene to discover the smell was a leaking natural gas meter running to a business.
An apartment building housing ten people was evacuated as a precaution, but they were allowed to return after about an hour.
There were no injuries.
Police do not suspect foul play.
