What will CenterPoint Energy do?

A crew from Michels Utility Services, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, will begin natural gas line replacements in the Webber-Camden neighborhood on Monday, July 1. Residents may see equipment moved into the neighborhood on Friday, June 28 and spray paint or utility flags marking public underground utilities. Find a list here of the colors that indicate their respective utilities.

For approximately two weeks beginning July 1, the crew plans to install a natural gas main under the even-numbered sidewalk of Humboldt Avenue N. and Girard Avenue N. working north from Dowling Avenue N. to 42nd Avenue N. (An exception will be that the crews will install natural gas mains under the odd-numbered and the even-numbered sidewalks of Girard Avenue N. from 41st Avenue N. to 42nd Avenue N.)

During this time, parking and a sidewalk will be closed on the side where the crews are working. (An exception is that both sides of Humboldt Avenue N. will have parking restricted from Dowling Avenue N. to 42nd Avenue N., since the west side of Humboldt Avenue N. faces the Washburn-McReavy Crystal Lake Funeral Chapel and Cemetery.)

After this work is done, the crew will work on Emerson Avenue N. More details will be provided closer to that time.

No gas interruption will occur during the main installments.

At a time to be determined this summer, a second Michels Corporation crew will follow to move inside meters outside by appointment and replace and/or reconnect service lines to the new mains. Find more information about this work here.
