An Enbridge natural gas pipeline in British Columbia exploded, resulting in natural gas rationing in the region.
I have handled many eminent domain matters involving natural gas pipelines. Generally speaking, natural gas pipelines can be dangerous because a malfunction can result in an explosion. Unfortunately, these types of explosions are all too common. This article discusses such an explosion in Canada.
As public awareness of these dangers increase, there will be an impact on real estate pricing for properties, particularly residential properties, in their vicinity. This is a factor that must be examined when evaluating just compensation for a natural gas pipeline.
If you have any eminent domain issues, do not hesitate to contact me.
