At times there may be restricted access but every effort will be made to allow residences access to their homes during construction. There are road closure signs on my street. Restriction notifications posted throughout the designated work zone and crews will notify residents if temporary parking restrictions will be required. Will I be able to park on the street during construction? You may ask to speak with the crew foreman or you can call the National Grid representatives number provided on the project notification letter. If questions arise while the crew is working on the street, who can I contact? If there is a long-term schedule change, National Grid will notify your local Department of Public Works and will also send you additional communications. Last minute schedule changes are sometimes possible. Why are there no crews working when construction is scheduled to begin today? You can coordinate a time with the crew foreman. If I cannot be home during the proposed construction dates, may I make alternative arrangements for the crews to access my home? If your meter is already outside your service may still be interrupted for a brief period of time. Moving the meter outside helps to improve safety and also allows easier access for National Grid to access the meter in the future. If it’s part of this project, why will my meter have to be moved outside? If the letter you received indicates that your meter will be moved as part of the project, a representative from National Grid will assess the work that is needed at your location. S ome main replacement projects do require the crew to move the meters. Will my meter be affected by the project? Who should I contact if I smell gas on the street or in my home during the project? Please call 1-80 immediately from a safe location outside your home or from a neighbor’s home.

This work typically takes one day to complete, and the owner may be asked to provide National grid access during construction. Affected residents and business owners will be contacted by a member of the crew at least 24-48 hours in advanced so that the work on their service line can be coordinated. PHASE 3: Once the main work is complete, crews will begin coordinating the service line work.PHASE 2: National Grid and/or our qualified contractor crew will conduct the necessary work on the gas main within the street.PHASE 1: includes mark outs of utilities within the street within the project scope.What can I expect during this project?
