Individuals in Moorhead with natural gas from Xcel Energy may be experiencing an outage.
According to a news release, Xcel Energy crews are working to make repairs in Moorhead, Minnesota, after a snow plow struck and damaged gas equipment at 16th Ave. S. and 8th St. S. After assessing the damage, Xcel Energy crews determined that in order to safely make the repairs, gas service needed to be turned off at about noon today to approximately 975 customers in the Moorhead area.
Crews are on the scene working as quickly and safely as possible to repair the damage and restore service, and are also going door-to-door to turn off natural gas meters to affected customers.
Once repairs are completed, Xcel Energy will have crews going door-to-door to restore service and relight pilot lights on gas appliances when it is safe to do so.
There is no time estimate on restoration of service.
