Sarah Gentle is babysitting on Heather Way in Jennyfields. She says there is no gas for heating or hot water.
Rian Campbell Lewis works for Knaresborough-based MJ Ryder Limited, which installs boilers. She said their phoneline has been going "crazy" all morning.
As a precaution, businesses along Ripon Road past the junction of Jennyfield Drive remain evacuated, including the Co-Op petrol station, Shell garage and the Hydro leisure centre.
A temporary road closure is also in place in Ripon Road and motorists are advised to find alternative routes.
