We pay unitholders quarterly cash distributions generated from our operations.

Please refer to Unitholder Tax Information for greater clarification on the partnership’s tax reporting.

Cash distributions are typically paid out each quarter. The payable date is typically during the seventh or eighth week following the end of a quarter.
