Ground shifting has raised enough concerns that SaskEnergy is being forced to alter the service to some properties in the community of South Lake, on Buffalo Pound just north of Moose Jaw.

7 properties are losing natural gas service according to Director of Media Relations Dave Burdeniuk, who says they started to notice some issues back in 2014.

"It didn't start to get close to any of the areas that we serve until this past winter, that's where we saw ground shifting that had been going on for the last 3 years move into one block at the resort community of South Lake."

"One of our gas mains is also being impacted, that's a gas main that serves 120 properties at South Lake. We're going to be able to do a re-route of that pipeline and move it to a more stable area, and those 120 properties then won't lose their gas service. We're going to do that work this fall."

Back in 2014, ground shifting caused a gas leak that resulted in an explosion at Regina Beach, destroying or damaging several homes. Luckily, no one was injured.

"We're asking people, especially in resort communities, be on the lookout for any signs of ground movement. Give us a call, we'll send someone out to check it out. It may not be anything that will impact our system, but it may be some early warning signs of things to come."

Residents losing their service are going to have to find another fuel source for their property, such as propane, and Burdeniuk says those owners will be receiving compensation to help with a change.
