Eversource will continue its work on Federal Hill through July, according to correspondence from the company. The work includes replacing existing gas lines under streets as well as work on gas customers gas lines and meters. The work will be completed in phases.

Eversource gas customers with gas meters outside their homes will most likely not require moving those meters. Customers with meters inside will have those meters moved outside. Work will include replacing existing gas service lines and installing curb values at the street.

Other upgrades may be required, depending on individual situations. This work will temporarily disrupt natural gas service, but Eversource has said it will notify customers of these interruptions in advance, as well as upon completion, including turning on meters, relighting natural gas appliances and performing safety checks.

The following streets have been or will be affected, since work began in January:

Woodland, Goodwin, Walnut, Oakland, Maple, Stearns, Bradley, Broadview; and Prospect Place.

The work is being completed by NPL Construction crews and Geary Mechanical, on behalf of Eversource.

For information, contact Eversource gas supervisor, John Folger at (508) 889-1263 or NPL Construction’s Jason Bennett at (413) 432-9916.
