Work Proceeds on NJNG Gas Regulator Station in Holmdel, NJ

In late December, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) voted to grant permission to New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) to build a pipeline regulator station in Holmdel, NJ. What does a regulator station do? It reduces pressure on the underground natural gas pipelines that already exist in the area, running underneath the ground in Holmdel Township and throughout Monmouth County. Ultimately, a regulator station will ensure the reliability of the pipelines and gas that flows in the area. The new station will replace a currently-operating temporary regulator station. Yet the “leaders” of Holmdel voted to appeal the BPU decision to court, allocating up to $20,000 of taxpayer money for legal fees in what is sure to be a fruitless attempt at overturning the BPU decision (see Antis Oppose Simple & Safe Gas Regulator Station in Holmdel, NJ). The good news is that construction is happening and the regulator station will soon be done.
