This timeline is subject to change due to potential weather-related delays.

During this time, residents and businesses may notice a flare stack in operation, which may emit loud noises, a tall visible flame, whistling sounds, or even the scent of natural gas.

Rest assured, this flaring operation is a well-regulated process that will be supervised by experienced Piedmont Natural Gas employees in collaboration with local fire department resources.

Please be aware that access to the worksite is limited for safety reasons, and therefore photography, drone usage, or interviews cannot be facilitated at the job site. For assistance with media inquiries, kindly contact the designated media representative noted above.
