Mary Alice Reporting –
Multiple odor investigations were called in Wednesday throughout the afternoon and night hours in the Village of Bolivar and a cause has been identified by Columbia Gas of Ohio
The odor is occurring due to an overabundance of an additive known as mercaptan being added by an upstream supplier.
Mercaptan is a harmless substance that makes it easier to detect natural gas. The source of the odor is not due to a gas leak.
