​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Benefits

  • Rehabilitation of our pipeline is important to ensure the long term reliability of the pipeline infrastructure.​
  • The project offers significant economic development benefits to the communities within the rehabilitation area, including the securing of ample supplies of natural gas to guarantee ​​​​​our customers have the natural gas they need.
  • Natural gas prices remain low and costs​ about half as much to use as other heating fuel sources. Your budget and the environment benefit from choosing natural gas versus electricity for heating, water heating, drying and cooking.​

Key benefits of natural gas include:

  • Affordable: Natural gas costs less to use than electricity, propane and heating oil, keeping your monthly bills lower.

  • Spurs Economic Development: The natural gas industry currently employs nearly 3million Americans, and is adding even more jobs, providing a boost to the American economy.
  • Safe: Natural gas appliances have a great safety record and state-of-the-art equipment now has advanced capabilities like auto-shut off.
  • Clean: A natural gas home leaves about half the carbon footprint of an all-electric home.
