Detailed maps released this week show natural gas is leaking from the city's pipelines.
According to Sen. Edward Markey's 2013 study, the state's gas customers paid between $640 million and $1.5 billion for gas that never even reach their home or business.
Cohasset bears the most leaks in the state — one for every six homes that use gas.
