Williams Transco, the natural gas giant who has a project to replace a seven-mile section of their pipeline in the county, has started condemnation proceedings against 36 property owners who have not accepted offers made for their land. The company will be filing a joint motion expressing its need for immediate access. The action was criticized by legislators who have sought to help residents whose property is being severely affected by the natural gas company's desire for additional right-of-way for the project. The county is crisscrossed with existing pipelines by eight different companies that bring natural gas, liquid gas or other petroleum products through 62 of Chester County's 73 municipalities. Currently, at least three natural gas companies have new pipeline or pipeline expansion projects going on in the county.
