Frozen Verallia gas control promptly thawed / By Martha Knight

An outside control device that regulates one of Verallia/Saint-Gobain’s gas supply lines froze in sub-zero temperatures around 9 a.m. Tuesday. However, an alternate supply kicked in automatically, and production continued without interruption.

An area employee was dispatched to handle the matter, and he thawed the device in short order.

Rumors had circulated in the community about a “gas line rupture” and possibilities of homes being without heat. No rupture had occurred, though, and only Verallia was affected.
