Our crews are working on a gas main at the
Piperton Gate Station, 455 Mann Dr. which could result in the release of the
odorant, mercaptan, into the air, through this afternoon. Mercaptan is the additive that gives natural
gas its smell.
The work involves
cutting out a section of 24" gas main that is in close proximity to the area
where mercaptan is injected into the gas main. As a result, some mercaptan could
be released and, depending on the wind flow, residents could smell gas and
suspect gas leaks.
If a gas leak is
suspected, customers should call (901) 528-4465 to
report it.
This sectional
cutting work is expected to be completed by the afternoon of Wednesday, February
22. The work at Piperton Gate will be ongoing until about the middle of March.
