TCAPS Update: Upcoming Natural Gas Pipeline Work Will Produce Visible Flare and “Rotten Egg” Odor 📢

DTE Energy is making natural gas pipeline upgrades in Traverse City to keep the community’s service safe and reliable. As part of this work, crews are scheduled to conduct a controlled gas flare on Tuesday, Oct. 6, beginning around 8:30 a.m. and lasting until approximately 3 p.m.

During this routine process, odorant will be injected into the new gas main near Eighth St. and Hastings St. Crews will then conduct a controlled flare operation in the northwest corner of the TC Central High School parking lot, near Eastern Ave. and Milliken St. The flare may be visible to nearby residents and businesses and may be accompanied by a slight “rotten egg” odor and low roaring sound. This is a routine procedure, and natural gas service will not be interrupted. Traffic control will be in place near the two main work areas, but no road closures or detours are expected.

The odorant will remain in the pipe for about one week, with crews expected to purge the remaining gas/odorant from the line on or around Tuesday, Oct. 13, using a second, shorter flare operation.

If you have general or non-emergency questions about the work, call 616.632.2620, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. As always, if you believe you detect a natural gas leak at your property, leave the area immediately, call 911, then call DTE’s dedicated natural gas leak hotline at 800.947.5000.

It's High 5 Friday! 🙌🖐

This week, high fives go out to:

1. Mrs. Walston at Central Grade Elementary who recently attended a Detroit Lions game and stopped by the Fan Club Tent. When the Lions staff asked if she had any "little ones" who might like a Detroit Lions T-shirt, she answered 28! Students were absolutely thrilled to open the box and discover shirts, sunglasses, fidget spinners, and so much more. Huge thank you to the Detroit Lions for giving these 3rd graders a surprise they'll never forget. What a touchdown of a day for Mrs. Walston’s 3rd Grade class! 🦁💙🏈

2. A big congratulations and thank you to Central High’s athletic trainer, Amy Ream, as she begins her 37th year taking care of our Trojans! For nearly four decades, Amy has dedicated herself to keeping our student-athletes healthy, safe, and ready to compete, supporting everyone with an extraordinarily big heart. She is a huge asset to our students, staff, and entire school community. Thank you, Amy, for 37 years of care, commitment, and Trojan Pride! 🏆❤️

3. A big thank you to Chef Adam from Cook It Forward, a local nonprofit organization, for the beautiful plating at Courtade Elementary’s first taste test of the year! Chef Adam took fresh radishes harvested straight from Courtade's school garden, pickled them, and created a wonderful plate for students to try. Way to expand those palates, Courtade!👨‍🍳✨

4. Traverse City High School students who spent time giving back at Reigning Liberty Ranch! Reigning Liberty has been a dedicated, long-time supporter of TCHS, and our students always look forward to returning the favor. It was a wonderful day of teamwork, hands-on work, and strengthening community connections. Thank you to Reigning Liberty for your continued partnership and for providing our students with such meaningful opportunities! 🐴✨

5. Kindergarten and 2nd grade buddies from Mrs. LaBarre's and Ms. Freeman's classes at Eastern Elementary who teamed up for a special community service project! Together, the buddy partners decorated bags for Project Feed the Kids, which will be used to pack donated food for local families in need across our community. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to collaborate, build friendships, and learn the power of giving back! 🤝✨
