In order to provide maximum safety in the delivery of gas services, the city conducts additional monitoring and patrolling of the transmission line in accordance with the Department of Transportation's Pipeline Safety Regulations. Part of our monitoring includes the identification of High Consequence Areas (HCAs) as defined by the office of pipeline safety. HCAs are addressed in the city's Pipeline Integrity Management Program.
