Sewer line renovation on the front half of Mentelle Park began Monday as equipment was moved into place. Most street parking in the affected area has been restricted. City officials say the project will take about two months. Click here to read an earlier post about the project.
Meanwhile, Columbia Gas has suspended all service line upgrades that are part of its pipeline replacement projects, including those recently begun in the Mentelle and Bell Court neighborhoods. The company said it stopped work on the service lines to homes to protect the health and safety of customers and employees.
In some neighborhoods, residents will still see crews working on the main line replacements. In others, crews have been pulled because the only work left on the projects is to replace service lines. All emergency line repairs, however, will continue. Click here for more information.
Also, Columbia Gas said it has suspended shutoffs for nonpayment for customers struggling financially because of the coronavirus pandemic. Click here for more information.
