Dominion Energy is relocating/replacing a section of its Feeder Line 127 natural gas pipeline that extends from Wellsville in Cache County to Farr West in Weber County Utah. Feeder lines are larger, steel pipelines that supply smaller main and individual service lines that connect to meters at homes and businesses.
Need for the project: We are committed to providing safe, reliable natural gas transportation service at the lowest possible cost. In recent years, as part of our continuing efforts to maintain and enhance overall system integrity, we have begun replacing sections of our underground pipeline system. We will be replacing older pipe with modern, newer, and stronger pipe.
Location: The section of FL127 slated for replacement extends from Wellsville in Cache County to Farr West in Weber County. To expedite construction, multiple crews will be working simultaneously at various locations during the project. Crews may also work on weekends.
Construction Schedule: Allowing for weather and other demands, construction is scheduled to begin Spring 2018, and is expected to be completed by 2020.
Questions: For questions, concerns, additional information, or to sign up to receive weekly construction updates, call the Feeder Line 127 information line at 801-324-5521. Or you can email us and reference Feeder Line 127.

Canyon Pipeline will be taking off from June 29 through July 5 for the Fourth of July holiday. It will be returning to work on July 6. Work sites will be secured while crews are away enjoying time with their families and the time off.
Dominion Energy and our contractor, Canyon Pipeline of Phoenix, AZ, are committed to completing this project safely and on schedule while minimizing as much as possible any inconvenience to local businesses and residents. To accomplish this, some work may be performed at night and on weekends. This will reduce impacts on morning and evening commutes. We will adhere to all county noise-reduction ordinances. Canyon Pipeline has more than 40 years experience in 39 states building pipelines in urban settings.
Construction Zones
For pipe buried beneath streets or highways, construction may require intermittent closures of one or more lanes of traffic. Driveways also may be occasionally blocked by excavation work, otherwise they will be plated to maintain access during business hours and at night and on weekends.
Before construction starts in front of any home or business, a representative will contact the owner or resident to discuss options for maintaining driveway access. Signs notifying the public that businesses remain open during construction are available.
To finish construction on schedule and as quickly as possible, the project is divided into sections, or "spreads." This allows multiple crews to work simultaneously at different locations. Work zones can range from a single intersection to several blocks long. At any one location the amount of time to cut pavement, install new pipe and replace asphalt can range from several days to several weeks.
The public can do its part to ensure construction proceeds safely and on time by finding alternative routes, driving carefully in construction zones and keeping children away from construction sites.
Dominion Energy works closely with city and state transportation officials to ensure safety and minimize inconvenience to drivers and pedestrians. However, for public safety it may be necessary to temporarily close streets and sidewalks or restrict vehicle and pedestrian traffic. As mentioned, driveways may occasionally be blocked by excavation work. We will make every effort to keep these inconveniences as brief as possible. Your patience is appreciated.
If you have questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us.
Steps During Construction
Following are brief descriptions of the steps involved in pipeline removal and construction:
We take safety seriously. Since its founding in 1929, our company and its affiliates have engaged in every phase of natural gas service, from production and gathering to transportation and distribution. During that time, while delivering the clean and efficient natural gas our customers rely on daily for their comfort and livelihood, we have earned an enviable record for safety and reliability.
At Dominion Energy, we are committed to providing safe, reliable natural gas service at the lowest possible cost.
In recent years, as part of our continuing efforts to meet growing demand for natural gas while improving overall system integrity, we have begun replacing vital sections of our underground pipeline system serving the Wasatch Front. In most cases we are replacing older pipe with newer, stronger and larger diameter pipe.
These new pipelines carry more supplies, enabling us to better serve the growing number of new homes and businesses in Utah.
They also enhance safety and reliability by making our system easier to monitor and maintain. Some of the older sections of our system have pipe in varying diameters, ranging from six to 20 inches. Replacing these with pipe of the same diameter makes them accessible to "smart tools. These tools -- commonly known as "pigs" -- use MRI technology to inspect the pipe interior, making it possible to detect and correct potential problems before they occur.
No. Redundancies in our system should make it possible to replace the existing pipeline without interrupting service to any customers.
Construction may require temporary lane closures and/or detours. During construction, we strive to maintain traffic in both directions on city streets at all times, however temporary lane restrictions can be expected.
Private driveways and access to side streets and business parking lots may also occasionally be temporarily blocked by excavation work. When not in use, open trenches will be plated to maintain access during business hours, at night and on weekends.
Any changes in traffic or access will be kept to a minimum and will be as brief as possible.
Before construction starts in front of your home or business, a company representative will contact you to discuss where you would like access maintained. Signs notifying the public that businesses are open during construction will be made available for those who request them.

Residents can reduce the risk of accidents by driving carefully in construction zones and keeping children away from the construction site. We work closely with city and state transportation officials to ensure safety and minimize inconvenience to drivers and pedestrians during construction.
