According to a recent update from Liberty Utilities Central, around 9:55 a.m. Saturday, teams working on the gas line in north Cape Girardeau County installed the new pipe overnight, which they say is a significant step in preparing the line for connection into the system. They are also monitoring the weather throughout the day, and meter teams will continue to work despite rainfall, as long as it does not pose a threat to their safety. Welding work on the pipeline will have to be paused until the rain ends.
