Natural Gas Line Erupts in East Grand Forks

 

Around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, a natural gas line was ruptured in East Grand Forks.

Xcel Energy had to shut off the natural gas supply to a large area in a East Grand Forks residential neighborhood.

The affected areas are from 4th St NE to Hwy 2 NE and from 2nd Ave NE to American Crystal Sugar. Xcel Energy workers are currently in the process of fixing the line and restoring natural gas back to residences in the area. 

Xcel Energy workers will be having to do work at each residence in the affected area. There is no time frame at this point on when the gas will be restored.

Anyone with concerns is asked to please call the East Grand Forks Police Department at 218-773-1104.
