Atmos Energy commenced a series of pipe replacement projects Thursday to further increase the safety and reliability of its natural gas system while reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout Colorado.
The 2021 project plans encompass three distinct geographical areas in Durango. Each project outlined below will be staggered to minimize impacts to traffic and neighborhood routines:
March 4 to May: along East Fourth Avenue, East Fifth Avenue, East Sixth Avenue and First Street through Fifth Street.June 1 to July: Chapman Hill.June 2 to October: along East Fourth Avenue through East Ninth Avenue and Fifth Street to 10th Street.About 466 Atmos Energy customers will receive new natural gas service lines when these projects are complete. Those customers and nearby residents can expect to see highly trained work crews along with contractors replacing the natural gas mains and service lines that connect to the gas meter at their home.
In addition, Atmos Energy crews will place a door tag at each home before work begins and place construction signs throughout neighborhoods.
