Atmos Energy will be performing routine natural gas maintenance in Argyle this week and next, which may result in noise and a foul odor that nearby residents may notice.
The “procedure is a necessary, safe and standard industry practice used to extract natural gas from an isolated section of pipeline,” Atmos said in a news release. “Residents in the area may hear a noise and the scent of mercaptan, a harmless odorant that gives natural gas its ‘rotten egg’ smell, may be present during the operation.”
The work will be done at 1350 Stonecrest Road from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday this week, and May 13-14 next week, according to the news release. Atmos customers will not experience any service interruption.
