Natural Gas Line Upgrades in Como - Project Updates

​​

6/9/2025

Efforts to move indoor gas meters outside began last week in the Como Neighborhood of Minneapolis. A crew will continue to move through the area, scheduling appointments with customers who have indoor meters. Some properties will receive service line replacements or meter upgrades as well.


Beginning in the week of June 16, construction on the new gas main will begin.


Please note that additional work has been added to the scope of this project, and sections of gas main will now be replaced on 12th Avenue SE between East Hennepin Avenue and Como Avenue SE as well as on 11th Avenue SE between East Hennepin Avenue and Como Avenue SE.

Natural gas construction updates

For a few months beginning this May, CenterPoint Energy will replace natural gas infrastructure in Como. Updates regarding the utility crew's location, traffic impacts and other details will be posted here regularly.


Before construction begins, an authorized contractor will be in the area to locate sewer lines in relation to natural gas lines. This is an important safety measure CenterPoint is required to take. It is possible a technician performing this work will need to access your home to locate sewer lines. Ask to see CenterPoint Energy identification before letting anyone in your home.
