Walker declares energy emergency because of propane problem

MADISON - Gov. Scott Walker has declared a precautionary energy emergency because of service interruptions on a key propane pipeline.

Intermittent interruptions are affecting the Mid-America East Blue Pipeline at the Janesville terminal. Walker says in a statement that early indications are the supply problem will be short-lived.

The pipeline serves four states, including terminals and storage facilities in Janesville; Dubuque, Iowa; and Rockford, Illinois. The governor's office says the Janesville and Dubuque terminals are crucial in supplying southern Wisconsin, but they also supply other areas of Wisconsin.
