Residents of Diamond Lake can soon expect to see construction crews in their neighborhood as CenterPoint Energy gears up to resume its gas service upgrade project. With winter receding, the energy company announced plans to move meters outdoors and retrofit service lines, alongside undertaking permanent restorations for homes given stopgap measures during colder months. "As temperatures begin to rise, CenterPoint anticipates the beginning of the 2025 construction season," states a recent update from CenterPoint Energy.
Work is slated to kick off in early April, which means residents should be prepared to warmly welcome work crews into the area. CenterPoint has expressed its commitment "to providing safe, reliable, and resilient natural gas service" and asks for the community's patience as they continue to enhance local infrastructure. According to the update, additional information regarding the construction's progress will be provided as it becomes available.
While the presence of construction may cause some inconvenience, CenterPoint assures residents that all efforts are being made to minimize disruptions. In a message to its customers, they said, "Thank you for your patience and understanding as we upgrade our infrastructure! We value the privilege of having you as a customer." The company has made available a communication specialist to field any concerns or questions that may arise due to the undertaking.
For those seeking more details on the construction process and its impacts, CenterPoint Energy directs folks to the designated website. Concerns and inquiries can also be sent directly to Communication Specialist Una O'Meara at [email protected] or by calling 612-542-6198.
