People may see a 20-foot flare coming from the 30-foot flare stack that will be temporarily attached to the pipeline block valve in the area.
The area around the flare will be supervised to ensure public safety.
Flaring is an industry standard procedure when natural gas needs to be released from a pipeline and reduces the carbon footprint of the vented gas by 85 per cent.
TransGas says there will be no disruptions to natural gas service to customers in the area during the flaring.
