There will be natural gas flaring and natural gas well maintenance in our Consumers Energy natural gas storage fields in Casco Township.
This work will begin in August, 2023 thru late October, 2023 and the flaring work typically is done on weekdays between 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.
During this routine maintenance work, some pressurized natural gas will rise from the open wells. To ensure the safety of nearby neighbors, our workers and the environment, this excess natural gas will be burned off in a controlled manner. This is called flaring, which you may see or hear. Flaring is a safe, common industry practice and is continuously monitored.
Emergency officials have been notified of the activity. As always, please call Consumers Energy at 1-800-477-5050 with any natural gas concerns.
