Atmos To Conduct ” Flaring” In Hopkins

Hopkins County residents may see large flames and hear noises this week as Atmos Energy and contractors will conduct a process called “ flaring” beginning tomorrow and continuing through Thursday. Flaring involves burning off natural gas so employees can work on the pipeline. This week’s work will be done in the area of CR 2319 off FM 1870. Fire Departments and Sheriff’s dispatchers have been notified of the flaring.
