Public Safety

To further ensure safe operation of our facilities, we work to educate the public and involve them in helping us keep our facilities, especially our pipelines, safe and secure.

  • We distribute brochures to residents and businesses along our pipeline systems, calling attention to the presence of pipelines and explaining how to recognize and react to potential leaks or other problems.
  • We regularly meet with excavators to educate them, and we participate in the U.S. national 811 “call-before-you-dig” utility-locator program and in similar Canadian provincial programs.
  • We periodically conduct drills with local and regional emergency responders and community officials to test our respective readiness.
