Pipelines Cannot Be Moved In Tipton County Case
A Tipton County ruling holds a natural gas company may not remove pipelines from farm leases when gas rights exist. Farmers successfully resisted removal, with appeals upheld in circuit and supreme courts. Possession of title remains unclear, but users may keep pipelines unless the original contract ends. The issue may reappear in other cities as street paving limits future removals.
