Crews will install a new plastic gas main under the sidewalk in the west side of First Street between U and V Streets. Main and services on the east side of the block will be scheduled for replacement at a later date. The new main will be tied in to an existing main and charged with gas.

Service crews will then start the replacement of existing services. Prior to the actual start of the service replacement, customers will be contacted by a technician to schedule the date of their service replacement. Every effort will be made to minimize disruption to homeowners properties. Gas will be off during the service replacement, but no longer than one day. Relighting of gas appliances will be done after the service replacement is completed. Customers must allow the service crews access to all gas appliances to ensure a safe restoration of gas service. Restoration crews will do temporary property and sidewalk restoration immediately following each service replacement. Final restoration of property and sidewalk will commence within 30 days after all main and services on the block are completed as weather conditions allow. Washington Gas will work to restore the area to as closely to as-found condition as is possible. Please refer to the Washington Gas notification letter for more information on this project and on restoring your new gas service. Thank you for your patience during this project.

Email: ffrost@washgas.com We constantly study our gas pipeline system to be sure it meets our service expectationsin neighborhoods both old and new. As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure the safest, most reliable delivery of natural gas to all of our valued customers, we will be replacing portions of our pipeline system in communities across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Your neighborhood is one that will benefit. The pipelines that bring natural gas into your home or business are often made of steel or cast iron. Just like other important parts of the infrastructure in our communities, such as highways and bridges, age and condition can impact their safety and reliability. While your current system has performed well, it is now time to replace the pipelines, usually with much longer lasting, specially-designed, plastic pipe.
