Who uses Line 5

Our Answer

If you live in Michigan, you do.

Line 5 supplies light oil and natural gas liquids to energy companies, manufacturers, suppliers, transportation interests, and households across the entire state.

Line 5 products fuel Michigan’s cars, trucks and planes. They offer light and heat to our homes, schools, hospitals, activities and workplaces. They help our farmers bring high-quality food to our tables. And, best of all, Line 5 products become the building blocks of more than 6,000 manufactured items we use every day—from toothbrushes and Scotch tape to clothing, roof materials, automotive parts and technology components.

Without Line 5, Michigan would struggle for much-needed resources that support our economy, keep our state’s residents safe, warm and healthy, and help our state and local budgets stay in balance.

That’s why we have chosen to build the extra layer of security represented by the Great Lakes Tunnel—a thick concrete tunnel to keep the pipeline safe and secure hundreds of feet below the lakebed. It’s infrastructure that makes sense for our Great Lakes and Michigan jobs.
