Harbour Fuel System Upgrades

The Town will be replacing the fuel system at the Thornbury Harbour this fall. This project will include the installation of new fuel dispensers, new underground fuel lines, and new above-ground fuel tanks. The new dispensers will increase safety, and the new fuel tanks will be easier to inspect for leaks and degradation.

Removal of existing dispensers, underground fuel lines and tanks is scheduled to begin the week of October 18, and substantial completion of the new system is planned for mid-December.
