The City of Kyle has approved a settlement agreement with the Permian Highway Pipeline, LLC and Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline, LLC.
The Kyle City Council approved the $2.7 million settlement during a special meeting on Friday. The settlement allows Kinder Morgan to build the Permian Highway Pipeline through the City of Kyle and provides protections to the city regarding how the pipeline impacts existing infrastructure and future developments.
“To be clear, this settlement has nothing to do with rerouting the pipeline out of the Hill Country,” City of Kyle Mayor Travis Mitchell said in a statement. “We still share in the concerns of thousands in our community who fear the impacts of the PHP on our safety and our environment. Settling this case has no bearing on those risks, which would have remained in full force either way.
