By running a new line from Lemay/Trilby (3400 feet away), this capacity could be increased to a guaranteed 10psi and 100,000+ SCF/hour. Gas pressure in the street runs between 40-65 psi, but falls during cold weather If there are any questions please contact Jim Hume, CPPO, Senior Buyer, at 970-221-6776.
