"Colonial Pipeline announced Wednesday that the company has restarted its Line 1, which had been shut down for more than 12 days, causing gasoline shortages and price increases, felt most in places like Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
Though the pipeline that caused those shortages is now flowing again, Colonial warns that it could be "several days" before supplies catch up, and that price increases and shortages could continue in the meantime.
The line was shut down after a leak was discovered that spilled an estimated 336,000 gallons of gasoline into an inactive coal mine site in Shelby County, Ala., about 20 miles south of Birmingham."
