Lovers Lane Improvement Project Overview
Columbia Gas will be replacing the natural gas pipeline system in your neighborhood. This important
project will replace an aging pipeline system with a new pipeline that will provide safe, reliable service to
you for many years to come.
To provide you with this new pipeline, Columbia Gas will need to conduct the following work:
- REPLACE the main gas pipeline that runs underneath your street or alley.
- REPLACE your service line that connects the main pipeline to the meter that serves your home or business.
- RELOCATE your gas meter outside the home if it’s not already outside.
We realize that a project of this scope often raises a lot of questions, and we’re committed to answering all
of them. Below are answers to questions that we know you will have. We’re also including ways for you to get up-to-date information about this important replacement project in person, on the phone, or online.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will this project start?
This project is scheduled to begin in January and will continue through most of the year. We will contact you before the work begins, and you will receive updates throughout the construction.
How long will it take and will it disrupt traffic in the area?
We anticipate that work on your property will be completed in one day, however, the project will last several months as we replace nearly 24,000 feet of pipe in your neighborhood at a cost of $2.2 million. About 550 customers will be impacted. There will be some temporary disruptions in traffic, but no closures are anticipated.
Will I have to pay for this replacement?
The cost of building, maintaining and replacing the pipeline system is shared by all customers and is part of the monthly bill you pay. You won’t have to pay specifically for this improvement to your neighborhood.
Why do you need to move my meter?
Having an outdoor meter eliminates the need for us to enter your home to read your meter and eliminates the risk of shut-off due to access issues. This will be a convenience to our customers.
Will you need to dig in my yard—and if so, who’s going to fix it?
Because all natural gas pipelines are buried, some digging will be necessary. We pledge to do as little digging as necessary and we will restore your landscaping.
How can I get answers to my specific questions?
