Water Management

Water is needed for testing the integrity of new pipeline facilities before putting them into service, or testing existing pipeline as part of integrity management programs. Recognizing the importance of water as an irreplaceable resource, Enbridge applies high standards in managing water use.

Since existing pipeline sections have transported liquid petroleum or natural gas, we properly acquire, store and treat water before returning it to the environment. We also continually evaluate facilities and procedures to verify adequate controls are in place to protect local water quality. And we implement procedures to safely manage surface water runoff at major facilities and pipeline construction sites.
