Shields Street Natural
Gas Project
Overview
We replaced approximately one mile of natural gas line along Shields Street between Drake and Horsetooth roads in Fort Collins, Colorado. This marked the next phase of a multi-year natural gas project in Fort Collins, as well as the third phase of work taking place on Shields Street.
This work allows us to continue to provide safe, reliable natural gas service and enhances system resiliency during extreme weather.
