Union Gas Upgrades to Continue

Union Gas will resume work to replace aging pipe and gas meters in Fort Frances next month.

Director of Engineering Doug Alexander says much of the work this year will be in the town's east end.

"We will work on roughly 1,500 service connections," says Alexander. "Of that we will simply reconnect 995 services, but will also put in 524 new services of the old steel pipe that was put in back in 1971."

The gas company is into the second year of a $10-million project.
