Tallassee gets another $5.5 million for cast iron gas line replacement

The City of Tallassee will have almost no cast iron gas lines after another grant from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

The $5,469,300 in grant money will be used to replace more than 13 miles of gas lines in East Tallassee. It was just a year ago PHMSA awarded Tallassee $9,700,000 in funding to replace cast iron gas lines in the Elmore County portion of Tallassee. The grants will allow Tallassee to go from a system having one of the largest percentage of cast iron lines in its system across the country to almost none.
