What is the crews’ progress?

A crew from NPL, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, is finishing the project’s natural gas work this week. They have installed all the project’s natural gas mains and service lines and have moved inside meters outside. Residents should see backfill in the excavated areas; backfill includes gravel or temporary asphalt on hard surfaces and dirt on boulevards and lawns. This is temporary before the restoration crew comes.

What should I expect for restoration?

A crew from Q3 Contracting, another CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, will follow this month or in July to restore the areas affected by the natural gas work.

Hard surfaces will be restored to their original condition. On boulevards and lawns, the crew will refill the areas with black dirt, grass seed, and netting that degrades over about four months. We encourage residents to water these areas. Prior to mowing the restored area, remove any loose staples that secured the blanket. Wait at least 14 days or until the new grass is at least 3" tall before mowing.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we replaced our infrastructure. We wish you a great season!
