Project Overview and Need

  • Replace and Upgrade Existing Natural Gas Infrastructure
    The 70-plus year-old natural gas infrastructure will be replaced with a modern pipeline constructed from stronger materials with state-of-the-art monitoring equipment and inspection technology. Replacing infrastructure that has been around since the 1950s is the prudent thing to do.
  • Regulatory Compliance
    Our system must be upgraded from time-to-time to maintain compliance with federal regulations. 
  • Enhance Our Natural Gas System
    The upgraded pipeline will enhance our natural gas system, helping to continue providing safe and reliable service to Northern Kentucky customers for decades to come.
