What is the crews’ progress?

A crew from Michels Utility Services, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, anticipates finishing their natural gas line replacements in the Whittier Neighborhood in the middle of July.

They are currently working on the meters and service lines on 2nd Avenue S. between Franklin Avenue and 22nd Street E. and on 22nd Street E. Then they will work on 24th Street E. between 3rd Avenue S. and 4th Avenue S. They have their equipment staged on Stevens Avenue between 22nd Street E. and 24th Street E.

During this time, parking is restricted on both sides of the road where the crews are working. One sidewalk is closed at a time. They will pull their equipment and “no parking” signs from the project area from Thursday, July 4 to Sunday, July 7 and will resume work on Monday, July 8.

A crew from Q3 Contracting, a CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, has been restoring the areas affected by the natural gas work. They will continue to follow as Michels finishes their work.
