Last week, residents of the Como neighborhood in Minneapolis saw the start of a significant infrastructure project as CenterPoint Energy embarked on moves to relocate indoor gas meters to outdoor locations. The initiative, aimed at ensuring the delivery of safe and consistent natural gas services, signals a deeper effort at upgrading and maintaining the city's gas infrastructure for better safety and efficiency.
Following the initial steps, the project is set to expand with major construction beginning the week of June 16. Crews will take to the streets marked in red in the provided map to replace the old natural gas mains with modern materials that promise to offer improved resilience and longevity. Streets slated for the update in the Como area include segments of 12 Avenue SE and 11 Avenue SE, areas that were only recently announced as part of the expanded project scope.
CenterPoint Energy has expressed appreciation for the patience of those impacted by the construction work. "Thank you for your patience and understanding as we replace our infrastructure! We value the privilege of having you as a customer," a statement reads from the company, highlighting its customer-focused approach. Residents looking to understand more deeply the construction process and how it may affect them can access further information via CenterPoint Energy's website.
For further inquiries, concerned parties are encouraged to reach out to the company's Communication Specialist via email at [email protected] or through a call at 612-542-6198. As the project unfolds, the Como neighborhood can expect a busy period of transition toward a more reliable gas service that is fit for the future.
