Due to a broken pipe, the gas supply in San Juan had to be restricted and CNG was not sold at service stations. From Ecogas, they asked to reduce consumption as much as possible, because it was unknown how long the fix would take. Finally, this Saturday morning, they reported that the gas pipeline repair operation was completed, and that over the course of the day, the gas supply will return to normal.
“As a result of the negligent intervention of a third party outside the firm who was carrying out tasks in a crop field with a tractor and a scarifying arm, the main pipeline that supplies gas to the entire province of San Juan broke. “, the authorities began to explain. The incident occurred at noon this Friday, approximately 30 kilometers from Capital, in the town of Carpintería.
The brigade that carried out the operation was working throughout the night so that the problem could be solved as soon as possible. “They successfully completed the operation during the early hours of the morning,” they explained.
Finally, they reported that gas service to industries and CNG stations will be restored over the course of the day, depending on the pressures in the distribution system, that is, when they reach normal values, the CNG supply can be restored. . “The service for residential users is normalized. We appreciate the work and collaboration of all authorities and all users,” they concluded.
