Explosion in Pipeline to Have Little Effect on Middletown
An Indiana compressor station explosion last week will reduce Ohio Fuel Gas imports by 10 million cubic feet daily, but Middletown should see little winter impact. Officials say the drop is small relative to daily supply and will be offset by storage and other distributors. Twelve people were injured when the explosion wrecked the compressor and fire spread over farmland.
