Flaring will take place at the meter station within the RM of Britannia, south of Highway 684, subject to change based on operating requirements.
Residents and drivers in the area may see a 40-foot flame being emitted from the flare stack temporarily attached to SaskEnergy’s infrastructure.
The flaring is necessary to perform maintenance work on the natural gas line system in the area and supports the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas to SaskEnergy’s customers.
During this process, a portion of the gas line will be isolated from the system, and natural gas will be removed from the line in a controlled burn called a flare.
The area around the flare will be supervised to ensure public safety. Residential natural gas service in the area will not be affected.
SaskEnergy has notified the RM of Britannia and its fire department about this upcoming event.
