Transportation Notes

NOVA declared force majeure Sunday after a backhoe caused a line rupture on the 8-inch Hamilton Lake Mainline in eastern Alberta. The line was isolated and flows at Veteran Meter Station (typically just under 2 MMcf/d) and Hamilton Lake Meter Station (12.5 MMcf/d) were cut to zero until further notice.
