Pipeline upgrades in progress near Cedaredge, Colorado

We're in the process of replacing an aging natural gas pipeline in western Colorado. 

The project is part of a regional plan to ensure our critical infrastructure is ready to meet the needs of growing communities and continuing to deliver the safe, reliable natural gas to our customers.

In addition to upgrading existing pipeline, some infrastructure will also be relocated from within city limits to less densely populated areas. Reclamation and restoration efforts will be implemented once the construction of the pipeline is complete.
