Pipeline s
is everyor
business!
Our most important goal is to safeguard everyone
who lives and works along our pipeline route. So, we take
great care to install, operate, and maintain our system in
the safest manner possible.
Despite all our safeguards, however, emergencies
occur, primarily through outside forces, such as damage
by persons working near our lines. So we need your
cooperation to prevent accidents from happening. And
then we need your help to spot and report pipeline emer-
gencies that do occur so we can react promptly.
