SHELL LAKE, WI (WTAQ) – Enbridge Energy says it has extra security at a petroleum pipeline maintenance site in northwest Wisconsin where criminal damage was reported.
Washburn County Sheriff Terry Dryden says a private contractor was doing preventive maintenance on a line near Hayward — and investigators were called November 2nd after somebody dug numerous holes at the site, put a generator in one of them, and moved other equipment.
On Facebook, Dryden dispelled rumors about a leak in the pipeline, or that new facility was going in. Neither is true.
The sheriff says County Trunk “E” near a railroad bridge is closed at least through the end of the week to accommodate the work.
