Columbia Gas to replace lines for 213 East Side customers

More than 200 customers of Columbia Gas on the East Side of Bowling Green will soon see more than 93,000 feet of new gas line laid in their neighborhood.

Starting at the end of May, Columbia Gas is planning a gas line replacement project involving 213 residential and business customers.

A community meeting for those affected will be held Thursday at 6 p.m., in the Wood County District Public Library.

The project will involve customers on East Wooster Street from University Lane to Mercer Road, plus the side streets extending south to Scott Hamilton Street.

According to Raquel Colon, from Columbia Gas, the $1.3 million project will involve putting plastic piping in for the main lines and all customer lines hooked into the main line.

The project is expected to be completed by early fall, Colon said.
