Pipelines to be replaced in Peters, Union, South Park
Columbia Gas will soon begin replacing pipelines in parts of Peters and Union Townships and South Park.
More than 3,860 feet of underground pipe along Bunker Hill Drive, Bebout Road and Peterwood Park in Peters Township, will be replaced. Work is expected to last through early September, weather permitting, and will take place Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with temporary lane restrictions possible during working hours.
More than 3,970 feet of underground pipe along Library Road, Verna Street, Overlook Street, Wrescom Street, Orchard Street and Brownsville Road in Union and South Park will be replaced. Work is expected to last through mid-October, weather permitting, and will take place Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with temporary lane restrictions possible during working hours.
The construction work will require a temporary interruption of natural gas service for individual customers, while their service is transferred to the new pipe. Columbia Gas will personally contact these customers prior to shutting off service and to schedule service restoration. Customers with indoor meters will also have their meters relocated to the outside of the premises. This work will be completed at no additional cost to the customer.
All company and contract employees carry photo ID badges identifying them as Columbia Gas employees or contractors. Customers are encouraged to ask for ID before allowing anyone into their home, or they can call 1-888-460-4332 for Columbia Gas employee verification.
