Alabama town to begin $2.8 million natural gas pipeline replacement project
(UI) — Cordova, Alabama, will kick off a major natural gas pipeline replacement project with a groundbreaking ceremony on Aug. 20.
The $2.8 million project is funded by the Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization (NGDISM) grant program, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The grant aims to replace six miles of aging cast iron pipes with modern plastic ones, improving safety and reducing methane emissions. This upgrade is a significant boost for Cordova, which has faced slow progress on infrastructure improvements due to limited funds.
Mayor Pate of Cordova expressed enthusiasm about the project, noting, "This grant is a game-changer for our community, allowing us to address a longstanding need and ensure the safety of our natural gas system for generations to come."
The ceremony will be held at Cordova City Hall, with representatives from the Public Service Commission, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, and the Alabama Natural Gas Association expected to attend. Community members are invited to join the event.
