Gas Odor in the Air on Millington Road
October 7, 2020
Routine work will occur on Monday, October 12, 2020
MLGW crews will perform maintenance work that will require natural gas to be vented into the atmosphere in the area of Millington Road south of Fite Road. Gas will be vented into the air for one hour. This routine work will occur on Monday, October 12, 2020 around 7 a.m.
The public in the surrounding areas may smell mercaptan in the air. This is the chemical odorant that MLGW adds to the natural gas to give it the rotten egg/sulfur smell so it can be easily detected.
Depending on the wind/weather conditions, residents and businesses in various areas could smell this strong, sulfuric odor.
