What would happen if there were a leak or spill on one of your pipelines?


If there is a change in pressure or flow, Enbridge can remotely shut off flow in three minutes and activate trained responders. We have regional emergency response plans in place, which reflect ongoing input from energy regulators and environmental officials. Local emergency responders are trained on these plans and prepared to respond, in tandem with our own emergency response employees and contractors, if an incident were to happen.
