What was that noise and smell? Gas pipeline work
Posted on 26 April 2013.

The odor prompted more than two dozen fire and medical calls in Davidson and Cornelius, as well as calls in south Iredell. Piedmont Natural Gas confirmed later Friday night that the smell was the result of venting gas as part of a pipeline construction project in Davidson. See the full story on DavidsonNews.net.
