The The city's Office of Emergency Management says that a planned natural gas release may cause a citrus smell in neighborhoods in upper Manhattan and the Bronx.

On Tuesday morning, a utility company will conduct a routine, controlled release of a small amount of natural gas from a facility along the Hudson River as part of routine maintenance.

The Department of Environmental Protection will be on scene to monitor the event.

OEM says New Yorkers should still report suspected natural gas leaks, which will continue to have a distinctive rotten egg smell and not the citrus odor of today's release.
