Governor McCrory Closely Tracking Gasoline Pipeline Repairs Raleigh, N.C. – Governor Pat McCrory and other North Carolina officials are continuing to work with fuel suppliers to monitor and quickly replenish fuel supplies. State officials got an update from Colonial Pipeline executives this evening regarding plans for getting gasoline flowing again on one of the main lines that supplies North Carolina and many other eastern states. 

Fuel retailers in North Carolina are closely monitoring developments regarding fuel supply levels given the temporary shipment disruption due to the Colonial Pipeline leak in Alabama.   “Our first priority is maintaining public safety. To that end, we are asking first responders to double check their vehicles to ensure they have adequate fuel supplies on hand to run their operations,” said Public Safety Secretary Frank L. Perry. “We’ve seen fuel disruptions like this before and want to reassure people that there’s no need for alarm at this time.”
