The test involves using large quantities of water to test the structural integrity of the tank that will be used to hold liquified natural gas (LNG) for storage.

Approximately 16 million gallons of water are required for the test.

Enbridge Gas carefully evaluated several options for sourcing water and considered feedback from nearby residents. Using local well water was not preferred by neighboring residents, and installing a water line would have required construction affecting several hundred property owners. Given these considerations, trucking water to the site was identified as the most appropriate approach, as its impacts are temporary and limited in duration.

Enbridge Gas is managing traffic and safety through a staggered delivery schedule, the use of signage where necessary, and coordination with county Emergency Management Services and first responders.

Trucking schedule details are being finalized and will be added to the website in the coming weeks. See the Water hauling trucking route.

The first phase will take place for 16 weekdays (no weekends) with as many as  8 trucks per hour over 12-hour shifts. The second phase is anticipated to involve continuous operations for 11 consecutive days.
