SAXON - Enbridge plans a 1,500-foot temporary bypass around a Line 5 natural gas liquids leak near Saxon in Iron County. The pipeline was isolated and shut down after a parked semi rolled into a construction site on August 25th, hitting the exposed pipeline and causing the leak of an estimated 31,000 barrels of propane and butane. About 2,000 barrels remained liquid. Enbridge expects Line 5 to return to service September 12th, while crews remove the remaining liquids and prepare to test the soil.

UPPER MICHIGAN / WISC (AP) - It’s never been more expensive to take one last summer trip over this last Labor Day weekend with gas prices nearly a dollar higher than last year and well above the Labor Day weekend record of $3.82 from 2012, according to AAA motor club. The national average for regular gas prices is still well below the record of $5.02 a gallon set in June 2022. But diesel is a different story: It hit a national average of $5.85 a gallon Friday, a new record. Diesel prices in Ironwood just a few pennies below $6 a gallon with unleaded prices at $4.13 this morning. Around the region unleaded gas in Mellen is $4.23, Bergland $4.20, Ontonagon and Watersmeet $4.19, Hurley at $3.97, Woodruff and Ashland $3.93, Park Falls and Glidden at $3.92. The lowest gas price we could find was in Lac Du Flambeau at $3.90 a gallon. Gas prices typically drop as the summer driving season ends after Labor Day as refineries shift to making a cheaper winter blend.

PARK FALLS - Governor Tony Evers had his planned visit to Chequamegon High School in Park Falls canceled Friday morning due to a man making suicidal threats near the school campus. On Friday morning the Price County Dispatch Center received a call from a man saying he was having suicidal/homicidal intentions. Due to this call’s close proximity to the Chequamegon High School campus, the Price County Sheriff’s Office worked with administrative staff at the school and placed the school in a “secure hold” status out of caution while a law enforcement presence was maintained at the school. At the time of this call, Governor Tony Evers was scheduled to visit the school. Governor Evers’ visit was subsequently canceled due to the incident. It does not appear that the incident was related to or in response to Governor Evers’ scheduled visit. The man was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Price County Jail.

IRONWOOD / UP (AP) — Diesel has hit a new record price in the U.S., soaring to an average of $5.85 a gallon for the first time ever. Because diesel is used for many freight and delivery networks, higher diesel prices mean higher transportation costs for a long list of everyday goods. More expensive fuel is increasing bills for businesses across sectors. Some have already passed off costs to consumers in the form of added fees on online orders and packages in the mail. Ironwood area Diesel prices a few pennies short of $6 a gallon.
