Bringing natural gas infrastructure to rural communities

The State of Utah passed House Bill 422 in May 2018, which allowed the Utah Public Service Commission (PSC) to authorize Enbridge Gas Utah to seek approval to bring natural gas infrastructure to rural communities. Under this legislation, Enbridge Gas Utah was authorized to spend up to $50 million over three years and up to $125 million over five years for infrastructure expansion, subject to PSC approval.

Eureka City was selected as the first project built under House Bill 422. With natural gas extended to Eureka City, approximately 300 residential connections and 60 commercial connections were made available. Natural gas service was anticipated to support the city’s expected and potential growth, as well as future development in other rural communities.

The project represented an approximately $20 million investment and included the construction of 11 miles of high‑pressure natural gas pipeline running from Elberta to Eureka, along with about 360 service lines to homes, businesses, and other facilities. Preliminary routing, cost estimating, and environmental studies were completed prior to construction, and the project is now in service.

Frequently asked questions

Multiple rural communities were surveyed to determine their interest in natural gas. All potential communities were evaluated based on the following criteria:

  • Project cost
  • The number of potential new customers
  • The impact on current Enbridge Gas Utah operations and current infrastructure

Of the communities that responded, Eureka City was selected as the first project to be built under House Bill 422. Eureka City’s population was approximately 739 at the time of evaluation. Population estimates indicated growth to 850 by 2020, with projections to double within five years and triple over the following 20 years.

This project will be the first to be built under House Bill 422. If the Utah Public Service Commission grants approval of the project, construction would start in early 2021, with an in-service date of late 2021. This project will include 11 miles of high-pressure pipeline and about 360 service lines to homes, businesses, etc. Preliminary routing is underway.

If you’d like to sign up for natural gas service in Eureka, fill out and submit a service-line request form. Once you’ve completed and submitted the form, a pre-construction representative will contact you to set up an appointment.

The company views rural expansion under House Bill 422 as an ongoing program with each project subject to Utah Public Service Commission approval.

Legislation was passed in 2018 that allows most of the infrastructure costs to be paid by all Enbridge Gas Utah customers. We will be proposing that ALL costs be paid that way. If there are costs that need to be paid by new customers in Eureka, Enbridge Gas plans to spread out those costs over time to reduce the shock of paying for the service.

In many cases, appliances can be converted from propane to natural gas. The costs of converting an appliance is the responsibility of the customer. Conversion and proper adjustment of appliances should be performed by a qualified contractor. If a propane appliance cannot be converted, a new appliance will be required.

A typical Utah residential customer currently pays about $635 annually. If infrastructure costs need to be paid by Eureka customers, the typical bill would currently be about $807 until the costs are paid off. If these additional costs are required, they will be added to each customer’s monthly bill based on how much gas they use.
