What is the crews’ progress? 

A crew from Michels Corporation, a CenterPoint Energy natural gas contractor, finished the natural gas line replacements in CenterPoint’s project in Ventura Village this summer. This included moving inside meters outside and replacing and/or reconnecting service lines to the new mains installed in June.

Residents will see temporary backfill on the excavations. Backfill can include dirt, gravel, or temporary asphalt. A few weeks after the natural gas work is done, a crew from Q3 Contracting, another CenterPoint Energy authorized contractor, will follow to restore the areas outside the City of Minneapolis’s 2024 ADA Upgrade Project and 2025 Resurfacing Project​. Hard surfaces will be restored to their original condition. Soft surfaces will have dirt, grass seed, and netting that degrades over about four months.
