Major Gas Line Leak on Pine Street now being Repaired.
Some Homes Without Gas Service Until Later This Afternoon

At 11:30 pm on Saturday June 10, 2023 Enbridge Gas were able to tap and begin repairs to a severed gas line on Pine Street in the Township of Ignace.

At approximately 6:00 pm that same evening, a third-party contractor working to install fibre optics in the community of Ignace, accidentally severed a gas line on Pine Street.

Interim Mayor Baigrie and Council reported that there were no serious issues with any residents that arose from the severed gas line and that Enbridge Gas was able to repair the severed line. The safety and health of our residents is always of the highest priority, and we are relieved that this incident did not cause any significant issues for our residents.

Enbridge is currently still working on the severed line and making all necessary repairs. As such, all residents on the SOUTH side of Lily Pad Lake Road are without gas services until later this afternoon. Enbridge is working diligently to ensure all repairs are being made in a timely manner.

Full gas service should be restored by sometime this afternoon.

At this time, we do not have all of the details of this incident, how and why this happened but we do know that the third-party contractor remained on site to assist in managing this situation.
