Columbia Gas to replace Donora pipelines
Columbia Gas will replace more than 3,100 feet of underground pipe along McCrea Avenue, Modisette Alley, Kenric Avenue, Federal Alley, Allen Avenue, Castiner Avenue and Lincoln Street in Donora. Work will start this month and is expected to last through early 2018, weather permitting, and will take place Monday through Saturday, 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 also will have their meters relocated to the outside of the premises. This work will be completed at no additional cost to customers.
