Hastings - 15th Street West from Pine to Vermillion Streets
Scheduled Start Date: Late Spring or Summer 2020
Project Description: CenterPoint Energy’s project is anticipated to last for approximately one month beginning in late spring or summer 2020. It will happen in Hastings along 15th Street West between Pine Street and Vermillion Street (Highway 61) and on Eddy Street just south of 15th Street West. (On the map, the circles indicate service line replacements without main replacements.) Crews from Michels Corporation, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractor, will replace natural gas mains and connect natural gas service lines to the new mains. Crews from Q3 Contracting, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractor, will restore the areas affected by Michels Corporation’s work.
Connecting service lines to the new mains: As social distancing practices and proper use of PPE, face masks and gloves have become normalized and as customers are willing to allow properly protected personnel into their homes to complete required work to modernize gas facilities, which is essential work, CenterPoint Energy authorized contractors will enter customer homes to complete work only with customer permission. Please see our flyer here:
The purpose of our flyer is to advise that with customer permission, crews will now enter homes to complete necessary gas meter work. If you choose not to allow crews to enter your home, gas service will not be interrupted, and we will reschedule for a time better suited to concerns you may have. Crews will continue to replace service lines. Crews may have to dig in the ground on your property in the utility easement and next to your home to complete the task of service line replacement.
Traffic impacts: Work will occur in segments rather than all at once. Although no major closures are expected for this project, the crews plan to work on one side of the road at a time while maintaining two-way traffic. Lane and parking restrictions are anticipated in areas where active construction is occurring and are necessary to keep both the public and construction personnel safe. Local access will be maintained.
