Cascade Pipeline Rupture: Repairs Underway as Sheriff Probes Third-Party Strike

The case centers on a third-party dig that ruptured TC Energy’s ANR line.

Overview

  • TC Energy crews remain on site repairing the high-pressure line and say the work should be finished in the coming days.
  • About 60 homes were evacuated after the Friday rupture, and the four people taken to hospitals have since been released, according to authorities.
  • Residents describe extensive property damage, with rocks and debris propelled onto roofs, siding and vehicles across the neighborhood.
  • The Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office is investigating who the third-party construction crew was and how the strike occurred.
  • Officials call the event a significant explosion, but TC Energy says there was no ignition and characterizes it as a gas release that created a temporary dust cloud.
