As part of our commitment to provide safe and reliable natural gas service to customers, Columbia Gas is planning to make an investment to replace natural gas pipelines in your neighborhood.

Your safety and the safety of our workers is the first priority. 

During the project roads and traffic in your area may be affected. 

We ask that you exercise caution and obey flaggers and signs when traveling in work zones.

After the main line has been replaced in your neighborhood, we may need to access your property to install the service line and move any indoor gas meters outside.

This may require digging on your property.

Our on site inspector or contractor will work with the property owner to determine the most practical outdoor location for your meter and gas service line while still meeting gas standard requirements.

Next, we will transfer your service from the old gas main line to the new one.

During that transfer, your gas service will be temporarily interrupted for several hours to ensure the safety of our crews and customers.

A Columbia Gas employee or contractor will notify you in person or with a door hanger at least three days before we interrupt your service.

Once the gas service has been transferred, we will need access to your home or business to perform a safety check and relight your natural gas appliances.

Someone 18 years or older must be present to provide access to your home.

Once all work is completed, Columbia Gas will restore your property to its original condition as soon as weather and seasonal conditions permit.

We appreciate your cooperation and patience throughout this process as we strive to continue providing safe and reliable natural gas service to you and all our customers in your area.

Here are frequently asked questions we receive about our work.

Can I get natural gas or add additional appliances?

Find out if gas is available at your home or give us a call at 1-800-440-6111 where our New Business team can help guide you through how to convert to natural gas or add natural gas appliances.

Thank you for your response.

I'm not a customer; will my home or business be affected?

If you receive communication from us about a project in your area, your home or business may be impacted by construction activity in your area.

Thank you for your response.

Was this helpful?

How do I know everything will be restored to its existing condition?

At the start of the project, we document your property’s current state. We may even capture photos or video footage.

Thank you for your response.

Will you block my street or driveway?

We may temporarily block access to an entire street, lane or even a driveway. If you need access to your driveway, let our crews know. When it is safe to do so, they will accommodate your request. Most of our digging will be in the grassy part of the public right-of-way and yards, but often our equipment is in the street while we are working. We will work with neighborhoods to minimize road closures and blockages, but please be alert and use caution around our work zones.

Thank you for your response.

Will I have to pay extra for this project?

No, you won’t have to pay specifically for this improvement project in your neighborhood. The cost of building, maintaining and upgrading our gas line system is shared by all customers and is part of your monthly bill.

Thank you for your response.

When and how long will my gas be turned off?

Your gas service will be temporarily turned off when we come to work on your meter. If your meter is already outside, your gas service may still be turned off when we connect your service line to the gas main line. This outage will be brief, usually between 2–4 hours. Once we’re done, we will need to get back inside your home or business so we can perform a safety check of your natural gas appliances and inside gas lines, turn on your gas and relight your appliances. Note: Someone 18 years or older must be at your home or business and pets must be secured when we’re there to work on your meter and turn your gas back on.

Thank you for your response.

How will this project impact my historic neighborhood?

We will coordinate with local historic preservation officials so that our work complies with local guidelines, restrictions and permitting requirements.

Thank you for your response.

Why are you replacing the natural gas lines in my neighborhood?

We're committed to providing safe and reliable service at your home or business. While the current system has performed well, it’s time to replace the natural gas lines with newer materials that will serve your community for many years to come.

Thank you for your response.

What can I expect?

You will first notice our representatives conducting preliminary work to ensure that pipelines are installed in the least invasive way possible. This will include locating and marking all underground utilities, such as water and cable. Next, we usually replace or add main lines along a street or right-of-way. We then construct service lines that connect the mains to homes or businesses. As a safety measure, we may also replace older indoor gas meters with new outdoor meters.

Thank you for your response.

Was this helpful?

Will my gas service be interrupted?

Your gas service may be briefly interrupted by this work. If so, we will contact you to schedule the work and make arrangements to test your house lines, perform a safety check and re-establish your service.

Thank you for your response.

Was this helpful?

During what time of day will work usually take place?

Construction will primarily take place from about 8:30 a.m. until approximately 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Thank you for your response.

Was this helpful?

How can I identify your employees and contractors?

All our employees and contractors can be identified by marked vehicles. They also carry a photo ID.

Thank you for your response.

Was this helpful?

Will you need to dig up my yard, sidewalk or driveway, and if you do, who’s going to fix it?

Because all natural gas pipelines are buried, some digging will be necessary. We will try to minimize the amount of digging required. If we disturb your yard, sidewalk and/or driveway, we will repair affected areas as soon as weather permits. Initial restoration, such as leveling of surfaces, will be completed as the project progresses.

Thank you for your response.

Was this helpful?

How long will this take?

Many factors, including weather, can impact the construction schedule for our projects. Our goal is to complete these projects in a timely manner and minimize your inconvenience.

Thank you for your response.

Was this helpful?

How will I be notified when you need to get inside my home or business?

Yes, once we’re in that phase of the project, we will contact you to discuss the required work inside your home or business. If you aren’t available at that time, a door tag will be left with contact information to schedule an appointment.

Thank you for your response.
