Rescheduled 4/26: NW Natural Work on Washington Way

Posted on by

This is an update to a previous notification.

The NW Natural Gas service switchover originally scheduled for Wednesday, April 24 has been rescheduled for Friday, April 26.

NW Natural Gas will be performing a natural gas service switchover in areas along Washington Way between SW 35th St and SW 30th St. The A.A Red Emmerson Advanced Wood Products Laboratory will be without natural gas service for the entire day. The switch over requires draining the line, which creates a very loud noise (similar to a jet engine) as pressure is released. There will also be a natural gas odor at this time which will naturally dissipate into the atmosphere. This is standard operating procedure for a natural gas switch over.
