As I was heading up I-15 yesterday as usual Cedar City pressure was way down -- only 1900 psi.
Since Fillmore often has similarly low pressure I decided to detour via Richfield to check out this station. My GPS indicated that it would be an additional 30 minutes home inserting this via point. It makes sense as on the map I-70 to UT-28 essentially parallels I-15.
Pressure was 3100 psi. I spoke with a local resident filling her Cavalier who indicated she almost always finds the pump over 3000 psi with seldom any downtime. My friend at Questar indicated that this station has good compression capacity with ample storage (see photo).
Edited to add: Fillmore can only compress 15 gallons per hour while Richfield compresses 100!
Next time you are heading up or down I-15 give "Reliable Richfield" a try. The 40 mile stretch on I-70 takes you through a stunningly beautiful red rock mountain pass, and UT-28 is for the most part a solid 65 MPH run. St. George is only 167 miles from here (159 miles if from Fillmore). If more of us would take this half hour detour it would reduce demand on overburdened Fillmore and Cedar City.
