Gas main replacement on Bayview

Notices have been delivered to businesses on South Bayview that the cast iron natural gas mains will be replaced this Spring beginning in April. There will be trenching necessary. The project supervisor, Jim Hutton, told The South Baview Bulldog that he thinks the work will occur mainly along the west side of the street. but it will be necessary to dig a smaller excavation in front of buildings to connect the new line. The old main will be replaced with plastic tubing. Gas service will be interrupted briefly but the contractor, Link Line, says there will be timely notice of disconnection. The contractor promises to keep sidewalks open and passable.
