What will CenterPoint Energy do?

For several months beginning in late August 2024, CenterPoint Energy’s authorized contractors will upgrade the natural gas infrastructure in St. Louis Park. Below is a summary:

• First, the crew plans to bore a small-diameter natural gas plastic main underneath one sidewalk on select roads.
• Second, they will either fully replace the service line or reconnect it to the new main, depending on the line’s age.
• Third, the technician will make a two- to three-hour appointment to move an inside meter outside. They will access the meter inside the house, move the meter outside, and relight the natural gas appliance pilot lights after the new meter has been relocated.
• Fourth, after the gas work, the gas crew will backfill the excavated areas with temporary dirt or gravel before the restoration crew arrives to put down concrete or black dirt, grass seed, and biodegradable netting. There may be several weeks before permanent restoration occurs.

The crews will work on the following streets:

• Westwood Hills Road from 13th Lane to the cul-de-sac of Westwood Hills Road
• Westwood Hills Curve at Westwood Hills Drive
• 22nd Lane W. from Gettysburg Avenue S. to the frontage road
• 23rd Street W. from Gettysburg Avenue S. to the frontage road
• Club Road from Flag Avenue S. to Boone Avenue S.
• Boone Avenue S. from Cedar Lake Road S. to Club Road
• Decatur Avenue S. from 24th Street W. to Club Road
• Cavell Avenue S. from 24th Street W. to Club Road
• 24th Street W. from Decatur Avenue S. to Cavell Avenue S.
• Jordan Avenue S. from Cedar Lake Road S. to 28th Street W.
• 28th Street W. from Jordan Avenue S. to 8900 28th Street W.
