Manitoba explosion reduces natural gas supply to customers in northwest Wisconsin

An explosion in Manitoba early Saturday knocked out three natural gas pipelines that help supply our northwest Wisconsin service area. One of the pipelines is expected to return to service this afternoon.

In the meantime, we have reached out to our customers via local media to explain the situation and ask them to conserve natural gas. Natural gas flows from TransCanada are increasing to Viking Gas Transmission, which is our supplier in the region. If repair work is completed as expected and our system stabilizes, we may end our conservation request later today. Conservation measures taken by our customers have helped improve the situation, and we thank our customers for taking action.

We will update this site with new developments and post links to these updates from our Facebook and Twitter pages.

More than 140 cities, towns and villages that we serve are affected by the reduced supply. Here is the complete list:
