Champlin residents, brace yourselves for a few months of construction as CenterPoint Energy embarks on upgrading the natural gas infrastructure along 109th Avenue, gearing up to start in early April, their efforts aligning with the City of Champlin's roadwork endeavors. These improvements aim to hike safety standards, and reliability, and ensure the steady flow of energy that households and businesses rely upon, discussion details of the work are outlined on the company's website.

As reported, multiple contractors vetted by CenterPoint will populate the area, executing safety measures such as locating sewer laterals before construction swings into full gear, and as a precaution, they ask that residents mark any private lines they might have installed to prevent any mishaps, CenterPoint will coordinate the marking of public utilities to forestall confusion.

CenterPoint's mission includes replacing old plastic mains with new, advanced plastic piping designed to enhance the gas distribution's security and dependability. Residents can expect some temporary fixes like dirt or gravel on their streets, "Plastic main is replaced by boring underneath one side of the road," states CenterPoint Energy.

Before the crews arrive on the scene, postcards will approach mailboxes, signaling a scheduling phase for necessary appointments. Those dwelling in houses with exterior meters will receive advance notifications regarding replacements or connections to the novel main. CenterPoint pushes residents to their Construction Definitions page for greater insight.
