City to purge natural gas from a pipe segment at Garfield Avenue and I-35
[Duluth, MN] City of Duluth Operations staff will be purging natural gas from a segment of pipe located at Garfield Avenue and I-35, Monday, July 20. Those in the area may notice a sulfur smell, but please do not be alarmed, as this is a controlled release of natural gas into the air by Utility Operations.
The planned purging should occur in the late morning before noon, and last about two hours. If you ever suspect that natural gas may be leaking unintentionally from the ground or a pipeline, please contact the City of Duluth’s natural gas emergency hotline at 730-4100.
