Piedmont Natural Gas Predicted to Urge Maintenance Resulting in Flame in Spartanburg

SPARTANBURG, S.C.

– Residents of Spartanburg County are being forewarned about the planned maintenance that Piedmont Natural Gas is set to conduct around the vicinity of I-85 and 26. Anticipated to commence from February 22 and last until March 1, the routine infrastructure maintenance, situated near 564 Springfield Road, comes equipped with a device that might generate a flame. However, this is dependent on the prevailing weather conditions.

Use of Flare Stack in Maintenance
