SaskEnergy will be conducting a controlled natural gas flare at its Yara Town Border Station, located within the Yara Belle Plaine production facility on Tuesday, June 28,  from 7:00 a.m. to noon.

These times are subject to change based on operating requirements.

Residents and drivers in the area may see a 40-foot flame being emitted from the flare stack temporarily attached to SaskEnergy’s infrastructure.

According to SaskEnergy, flaring is necessary to perform maintenance work on the natural gas line system in the area and supports the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas.

The area around the flare will be supervised to ensure public safety, and natural gas service in the area will not be affected.

SaskEnergy has notified the RM of Pense, Yara Belle Plaine, and local fire departments about this upcoming event.
