Pipeline FranchisesGovernanceCity Attorney

Richmond currently lacks specific rules for pipeline companies that want to run pipes under city streets or through city property. The new law establishes a formal permit system with requirements and fees. Pipeline companies must now apply for franchise agreements before installing or maintaining infrastructure on city land.
