Energy Transfer's 14-inch jet-fuel pipeline in Upper Merion Township, Pennsylvania, has returned to service after a contractor strike caused a major release on November 5. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that federal regulators approved refilling the line after repairs, while recovery work continues at the site and an adjacent quarry.

Restart follows Pennsylvania pipeline rupture

A third-party contractor working for PECO struck the underground line near Colbert and River roads in Upper Merion's Bridgeport section. The release entered the Glasgow quarry, and the affected section was isolated before repair work began. No injuries or evacuations were reported.

Crews used vacuum trucks to remove fuel and water from affected areas and transferred the mixture to temporary tanks for processing. Absorbent materials were also used on paved surfaces, stormwater ponds and impacted ground. Cleanup at the quarry is restricted to daylight hours for safety reasons.

Monitoring keeps investor focus on response

The joint response led by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection and Energy Transfer said monitoring wells showed no volatile organic compounds in the quarry. Officials also reported no impact on public drinking water supplies or the Schuylkill River, while community and perimeter readings remained below levels of concern.

For investors, the return to service removes the immediate pipeline shutdown issue, but cleanup, oversight and the investigation into the contractor strike remain relevant to Energy Transfer's operating and reputational profile. PECO said it would support the response and conduct a full review of the incident.
