The $37.4 million natural gas pipeline upgrading project in South Memphis has been completed by Memphis, Light, Gas, and Water.
The 5.4-mile high-pressure distribution line went into service on Thursday morning.
According to MLGW, the pipeline is one of the largest upgrade projects the power company has ever executed and is constructed of thicker, stronger steel pipe.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime type of upgrade, considering the replaced pipelines were installed nearly 100 years ago,” Doug McGowen, MLGW’s president and chief executive officer, said in a news release.
