Enbridge's controversial Line 9 pipeline grabs the headlines but its just one of a dozen major rivers of oil and gas owing below the city. The companys plan to reverse its 38-year-old pipeline to bring western oilsands crude back east has spurred growing protests and ongoing regulatory hearings. Meanwhile, lower-prole pipelines some two decades older than Line 9 quietly usher petroleum products such as natural gas, home-heating oil and even jet fuel under our feet. At least one active line sits on the bottom of Hamilton harbour.
Pipeline routes are approximate. Some routes may involve multiple pipes.
