Columbia Gas Purging Excess Natural Gas

Tuesday, September 19 - Central Bexley

Dexel Avenue High pressure main installation (North side of Broad Street to Sherwood Avenue to Dawson Avenue across Main Street to Pleasant Ridge Avenue) is wrapping up. As a result Columbia Gas will be purging the remaining natural gas left in their old line on Tuesday September 19th, 2017. To do this, a riser pipe will be installed over the old gas main on the east side of Pleasant Ridge Avenue between Mound and Astor Avenues. The gas will be released into the atmosphere for several hours and eventually ignited resulting in a five (5) to ten (10) foot flame which will burn for several hours. This is a normal operating procedure for gas companies, and Columbus Fire has been notified and will be observing the operation until complete.
