City to test sewer lines near campus Tuesday afternoon

The City of Bellingham's Public Works Department will be conducting a high-pressure test of old gas lines on North State Street on the afternoon of Tuesday, Jan. 21. The test will be quite noisy - city officials said that it will sound like a jet taking off - and there could be a lingering odor of natural gas through as late as Thursday, depending on prevailing winds.
