TCAPS Update: Upcoming Natural Gas Pipeline Work Will Produce Visible Flare and “Rotten Egg” Odor 📢
DTE Energy is making natural gas pipeline upgrades in Traverse City to keep the community’s service safe and reliable. As part of this work, crews are scheduled to conduct a controlled gas flare on Tuesday, Oct. 6, beginning around 8:30 a.m. and lasting until approximately 3 p.m.
During this routine process, odorant will be injected into the new gas main near Eighth St. and Hastings St. Crews will then conduct a controlled flare operation in the northwest corner of the TC Central High School parking lot, near Eastern Ave. and Milliken St. The flare may be visible to nearby residents and businesses and may be accompanied by a slight “rotten egg” odor and low roaring sound. This is a routine procedure, and natural gas service will not be interrupted. Traffic control will be in place near the two main work areas, but no road closures or detours are expected.
The odorant will remain in the pipe for about one week, with crews expected to purge the remaining gas/odorant from the line on or around Tuesday, Oct. 13, using a second, shorter flare operation.
If you have general or non-emergency questions about the work, call 616.632.2620, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. As always, if you believe you detect a natural gas leak at your property, leave the area immediately, call 911, then call DTE’s dedicated natural gas leak hotline at 800.947.5000.
