HENDERSON, KY, – Henderson Municipal Gas has started a gas main replacement project with an estimated completion date of late fall 2025.
The project includes the replacement and installation of approximately 5,200 feet of 2-inch gas mains and 50 + gas service replacements. A breakdown of where the gas mains are located can be found below:
- 830 feet on Mill Street
- 830 feet on Shelby Street
- 250 feet on Letcher Street
- 1400 feet on Wright Street
- 1230 feet on Atkinson Street
- 460 feet on Madison Street
The work being completed as part of the project is replacing service lines that are currently more than 80 years old.
“We are making an effort to invest in the infrastructure in the inner city,” said Tim Clayton, HMG Gas System Director. “The infrastructure in that area is reaching its usable limit and to ensure we are providing the best service to our residents we are replacing it.”
The first phase of the project began on Monday, December 9th and includes the installation of new gas mains along the roadways. Phase two will begin in the spring and will include the replacement of service lines.
Both phases of the project will cause minimal delays or disruptions for residents in the area. There are no planned interruptions to service as of now. If this changes, the interruptions in service will be scheduled with the customer by Henderson Municipal Gas.
The total cost of the project including in-house labor and materials is $150,000.
