City Of Summit: PSE&G Replacing Gas Pipes In Summit

Press release from the City of Summit:

February 2, 2022

Phase one of the project involved the testing of soil samples and digging of test holes to verify  the location of existing gas pipes. As part of Phase two, crews will need to dig trenches along road surfaces to install pipes. Short-term road closures and detours may be necessary.

During the project, crews will be working in the following areas: 

Springfield Avenue (between Summit Avenue and Glenwood Place), Springfield Avenue (between Waldron Avenue and Edgewood Road), Springfield Avenue (between Glenwood Place and Waldron Avenue), Ruthven Place (between Springfield Avenue and Franklin Place), Hawthorne Place (between Shadyside Avenue and Beechwood Road), Hawthorne Place (to Beechwood Road), Beechwood Road (between Llewellyn Road and Hillcrest Avenue), Beechwood Road (between Llewellyn Road and Euclid Avenue), Beechwood Road (between Euclid Avenue and Deforest Avenue), Canoe Brook Parkway (between Beverly Road and Hartley Road), Canoe Brook Parkway (between Hartley Road and Karen Way), Canoe Brook Parkway (between Karen Way and Canoe Brook Place), Hartley Road (between Woodland Avenue and Wade Road), Hartley Road (between Wade Road and Canoe Brook Parkway) and Hartley Road (between Canoe Brook Parkway and Butler Parkway).

Following the installation of new mains, technicians will schedule times with each homeowner to connect their service to the new system that will include a service interruption for approximately four hours. If possible, gas meters will be relocated to an outside location on the property, and technicians will relight all appliances and ensure that they are working properly before leaving the premises.

Police officers will be on site to direct vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Residents will always have access to driveways.
