Open house to provide information about gas pipeline

Area residents are being invited to learn more about a gas pipeline to the OPG generating station. The path of the pipeline would be constructed by Union Gas, as part of the plant’s conversion from coal to natural gas.
Area residents are being invited to learn more about a gas pipeline to the OPG generating station.

The path of the pipeline would be constructed by Union Gas, as part of the plant’s conversion from coal to natural gas. District Manager Glenn Burton said the preferred route takes gas from a station on the North part of Onion Lake Road, and carries it through the city and toward Mission Island.

“There’s lots of reasoning why we have this route the way we have,” Burton said. “The purpose of the open house is to get opinions or additional questions and concerns from people who might be in proximity to it or just have general comments about it.”

Construction is planned for the spring of 2013.

The information open house is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Thursday evening at the Travelodge Airlane on Arthur Street.
