Piedmont Natural Gas will be performing routine infrastructure maintenance over the next week in the northwestern part of the county, at 3405 Fredrickson Road,
near the intersection of I-140 and Highway 421.
According to Piedmont, the work includes the use of a large vertical pipe, called a flare stack, that may produce a large visible flame and loud noise. The work may also produce a whistling sound and the smell of natural gas.
Barring weather delays, the work is expected to be conducted between Tuesday, April 19, and Tuesday, April 26.
