In 2013 Laclede Gas will continue to replace gas mains and home service lines in the southwest area of the ward north of the Wellington Bridge. Work will move northward from the Ellendale neighborhood into Dogtown this spring. All affected homes are notified in advance of the work and again just before the work will begin. Laclede Gas is replacing cast iron lines that are approximately 100 years old with new plastic lines that will be much lower maintenance than the current lines in the coming decades. Gas meters will also be moving to the exterior of the house in some cases. The map below shows working areas for 2013. Work in the green area is mostly complete, while work in the red area has begun, and work in the blue area should begin in April or May.
