During their investigations at Le Clos Mourant, a pocket of gas was detected by Island Energy engineers in a service duct.
This build-up has now been vented and purged with air and the gas readings inside the building are zero.
However, the source of the leak has not yet been found and Island Energy will remain on scene to continue to monitor gas levels until it is.
All properties at risk have been evacuated. If neighbours have not been evacuated from their homes, it is not believed they are at risk.
There is no immediate concern for residents, however, to avoid undue anxiety hotel rooms are being provided by Government for those affected until the leak is repaired.
Staff from Andium, supported by Government's Employment, Social Security and Housing team, are on site in the Good Companions Club and in the Community Centre to speak with residents.
A further review meeting will be held tomorrow morning, to determine the next steps.
