If National Grid requires to dig on someone’s property, a proper easement will be secured before any digging happens. For this project, most of the excavation will happen on the street, sidewalk, and occasional grassy area of our right of way. Any disturbances to any surface will be repaired by National Grid at no cost to the impacted resident.
While our contractors will make efforts to keep disturbance to a minimum, there will be noise associated with this project. Most of that noise will occur while excavation is underway as contractors use heavy equipment to trench ahead of the work.
