​​Why is construction necessary?​

  • New pipeline segments and system upgrades maintain the safety and reliability of CenterPoint's natural gas service. 

  • The new piping segments and upgrades are installed with the most current construction standards and requirements, and are designed to facilitate a cost-effective, ongoing inspection process required for all natural gas pipelines. 

What should I expect?​​​

  • You will see CenterPoint Energy and our contractors working on the infrastructure in your neighborhood. 

  • Construction time will vary depending on the scope of the project and various construction obstacles. 

Construction definitions:

  • ​Natural gas main: A distribution line that services as a common source of supply for at least one natural gas service line.

  • Natural gas service lines: A distribution line that transports gas from a main to the end user. Whether that be a single building, two adjacent or adjoining residential or small commercial customers, or multiple residential or small commercial customers serviced through a meter header or manifold. A service line ends at the outlet of the customer meter or at the connection to a customer’s piping.

  • Gas meters: An instrument for measuring, indicating and recording the volume of natural gas that is used by the customer. 

  • Sewer laterals: A sewer lateral is customer piping that connects the property’s sewer to the city’s sanitary sewer system or private septic system.

  • Restoration​: Construction activity that returns property to former condition, whether it is the road or yard, at the completion of a construction project or as weather permits. 

CenterPoint Energy understands that constructio​​n activity can be inconvenient to people living and working in the area. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete projects safely and in a reasonable time frame.​​​​​​​​​
