Construction begins for expanding Crandon gas line to Potawatomi Community

CRANDON - Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) and North State Utility Contractors began rebuilding a natural gas line in the Crandon area on Monday, the first step for expanding the line to the Potawatomi Community.

Utility workers will cover about 5.3 miles of gas line. On Monday, the workers started working on the gas line just north of Crandon. The rebuild is for improving pressure in the line to move gas up to the Potawatomi Community buildings on Highway 8.

Construction will continue throughout the summer. Officials say they expect to be finished in August. Crandon residents should receive notice about construction in the mail.
