FAQs: Bennett Ave Upgrade

Regulator stations control the pressure within our infrastructure network. Our Control Center continuously monitors flow rates and pressures at various points in our system to optimize efficiency. The operators ensure that gas reaches each customer with sufficient flow rate and pressure to fuel equipment and appliances. They also ensure that the pressures stay below the maximum pressure for each segment of the system.

This work will consist of excavation, station upgrades, installation of associated infrastructure components and restoration of the affected areas.
