Gas Outage Update

This is a notification from PitkinAlert:

Black Hills Energy crews are beginning to purge the impacted area of the Aspen natural gas system. Customers may smell a faint natural gas due to the controlled release – this is normal and expected and is step one in the multistep process. Beginning this evening until 11 pm, some customers will see BHE employees at their door to ensure safe delivery of natural gas and to relight appliances. The relight process will then continue tomorrow beginning at 5am. Do not attempt to relight appliances on your own. Please ensure someone over 18 years of age is present and all animals are secure. Pitkin County and the City of Aspen will hold a Community Meeting at 6 p.m. tonight, 12/28/20. Details can be found on the pitkincounty.com later this afternoon. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Visit BHE social media sites, call BHE with ?s at 888-890-5554, or visit blackhillsenergy.com/aspen for more info
