Salt Lake City Council members questioned HF Sinclair's proposed fuel pipeline through Emigration Canyon and city neighborhoods, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Monday. The route remains undecided, and the council took no vote during last week's informational discussion. [1]

Company representative Jeremy Price said the Westline Connect project could improve fuel supplies and reduce tanker-truck traffic. Council members raised concerns about drinking water, safety and the effects on nearby properties. [1]

The proposal would carry refined fuels from Wyoming to North Salt Lake. HF Sinclair says permits will depend on the final route. Construction is at least two years away, according to the Tribune. [1]
