This afternoon, the Office of the Governor was informed that Kinder Morgan had successfully resumed pipeline operations. Please see the following statement from Governor Lombardo:

“My office has received notice from Kinder Morgan that they have resumed pumping and that the gas pipeline is operational. I’m thankful for Kinder Morgan’s timely response, and I’m grateful for the work of our local, state, and federal partners that enabled us to move quickly to mitigate the impact of this fuel leak in Southern Nevada.”

The state of emergency will remain in effect until emergency management partners are able to confirm that fuel transportation and supply have fully returned to normal. As a reminder, price gouging and deceptive trade practices are strictly prohibited during a state of emergency. If Nevadans believe they have encountered local price gouging, the Office of the Governor encourages them to file a complaint with the Nevada Attorney General’s office at https://ag.nv.gov/.
