Atmos Energy to purge line as connection is made
During routine pipeline construction, Atmos Energy crews and contractors will oversee a controlled release of natural gas between 10 a.m. and noon on Dec. 18 at the Cripple Creek Gas Plant near Briar Creek and Miller Roads south of Bowie.
Atmos Energy customers will not experience any service disruption while the work is being performed, however, some in the area may hear a noise during the operation. This is the purging of a new 20-plus mile line that runs from the Cripple Creek plant to York Road in Clay County.
The purge is expected to take about 90 minutes. Residents in the area may smell gas and hear a loud noise. This is part of the process to complete the tie-in of the new pipeline for the area.
Officials said as the company modernizes its system to meet expanding demand in the area, the result of this pipeline construction work will be to provide safe and clean natural gas at sufficient pressure and volume.
Atmos Energy employees will be onsite to supervise the process and the Bowie Police Department, Bowie Fire Departments in the area, 911 operators and local officials have already been advised of the controlled release.
