HOUSTON, Nov. 19 -- Williams Cos. Inc., Tulsa, has placed into service a new, 9-mile natural gas pipeline lateral near Everett, Wash.

Called the Everett Delta project, the 16-in. lateral extends from Northwest Pipeline Co.'s mainline near Lake Stevens, Wash., to two interconnections with Puget Sound Energy—one near the Port of Everett and the other west of Lake Stevens.

The new lateral will be connected later this month with Puget Sound Energy Inc.'s distribution system, providing an additional 113 MMcfd of natural gas to western Washington. Construction began in June 2004.
