Port Aransas city manager issues update on natural gas situation - Port Aransas South Jetty

City Manager Dave Parsons has issued an update on the natural gas outage in Port Aransas tonight.

“We contacted our supplier and were informed that our offshore gas supply wells had gone down to a mechanical some time today and the repair vessel failed to get repair crews out due to high seas,” Parsons wrote in a text sent to city council members. The text was shared with the South Jetty.

“The supplier calculated that there was enough pressure in the supply lines that we’d stay in supply until tomorrow. They did not notify staff of this issue,” Parsons wrote.

“And they were incorrect in their assumption. Our supply ran out,” he wrote.

“City staff is in the process of protecting what little pressure is left in the line. We are also attempting to hire a gas trucking company to delivery trucks early tomorrow so that we can recharge the system,” Parsons wrote, adding that he will continue providing updates.
