ATMOS energy will be engaging in what they call flaring starting July 9, so if you see gas burning, don’t be alarmed, according to a press release.

Flaring, ATMOS says, is “a standard industry practice to safely burn natural gas that must be removed from a specific section of pipeline so employees can work on the pipe.”

ATMOS says they plan on doing this burn at approximately County Road 2319 east of FM 1870, also known as “Crush Junction,” between July 9 and 19.

“People in the area will notice a large, controlled flame and moderate noise during the process,” the release reads.

The statement also states ATMOS employees will also be in the area to monitor the burn and make sure the natural gas is properly vented.
