We are making investments to upgrade the infrastructure system in your neighborhood to ensure our customers receive safe and reliable energy service. This project will upgrade the local system allowing for greater flexibility in our energy system.

Construction is expected to begin in May 2023.  Under our current schedule, we anticipate completing this project the December 2023 or sooner.

Work will consist of excavation in the roadway, installation of the new main and valve, testing of the newly installed infrastructure, and temporary, followed by permanent, restoration of the road.

Yes. Our top priority is the safety of our customers, the general public and our employees and contractors. The professional construction firms we work with also place safety as their top priority.

No. This work will be managed so that service interruption will not be an issue.

Traffic will be impacted during construction in the work area. That said, our team is working with the DOT to put into place the best Traffic Management Plan that will ensure the safety of the streets on which our work will take place and mitigate traffic issues to the greatest extent feasible.

No. As this project will reinforce the existing local infrastructure system, the vast majority of work will take place within established utility corridors.

While our contractors will make efforts to keep disturbance to a minimum, there will undoubtedly be noise associated with this project. Most of that noise will occur while excavation is underway as contractors use heavy equipment and sounds from trucks backing up.
