Gas line replacement begins in January

Columbia Gas says it and its contractor, Miller Pipeline, will begin replacing natural gas main and service lines in much of Mentelle Neighborhood in January, weather permitting.

In addition to replacing pipelines, the company will be relocating any remaining inside gas meters outside. The gas company provided the map above with the planned work area in blue.
