WG+E Builds a Safer Community with Cast Iron Pipe Replacement Program

Crews are continuing work on an accelerated program to replace cast iron pipe in Westfield. Funded by a $17M federal grant provided by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation. This important upgrade removes aging gas pipe, reducing methane emissions for a safer, more reliable natural gas system. WG+E plans to replace and abandon nearly 22 miles of aging low-pressure, cast-iron piping and replace 1,200 low-pressure services.

Wired for Summer

Thank you to everyone who came out to WG+E/Whip City Fiber Night at the Starfires! We had a great turnout (new record attendance!), and it was wonderful to see so many of our customers and neighbors enjoy the game together. While the Starfires didn’t walk away with a win, the night ended on a high note with a fantastic fireworks show. We’re proud to support our local team and wish them the best for the rest of the season!
