NOTICE OF PIPELINE SHUT-OFF AFFECTING WHITTIER CUSTOMERS 
Since the initial report on August 9th, ENSTAR has been closely monitoring a section of an 8” natural gas pipeline serving Whitter. The portion of the pipeline that crosses the Twentymile River further deteriorated this evening around 8 pm, requiring immediate action to shut off the flow of gas.
ENSTAR service technicians are enroute to Whittier to begin turning off meters tonight (August 16). This is a standard procedure in response to this type of situation.
We continue to work to secure emergency gas for Whittier until the pipeline is fully repaired. At this point we expect the outage to last until September 5. Whittier customers should be prepared to be without natural gas-fueled appliances until that time.
We will continue to update customers as more information becomes available. Check https://www.enstarnaturalgas.com/whittier-area-gas-service-update/ for the current status.
Whittier customers may call ENSTAR at 907-334-7770 with questions.
