Pipeline installment project underway in Clarksville
Clarksville, Ind. -Minnesota Limited crews, employed by Vectren Energy Delivery (Vectren), recently began work on a $2.6 million project to install approximately 3,600 feet of 12-inch pipeline to connect an existing
12-inch natural gas pipeline at Evergreen Circle and Charlestown Pike to an existing 8-inch transmission pipeline on the north side of Stenger Lane in Clarksville. The newly installed pipeline will allow for the
retirement of approximately 3,800 feet of aging, 8-inch pipeline. This project is one of several gas
infrastructure improvements being made during Vectren's multi-year plan to modernize its gas infrastructure throughout Indiana.
"To ensure the continued reliability of our natural gas pipeline systems and service, Vectren is continuing to modernize our system to improve the gas infrastructure in the Vectren North territory," said Mike Roeder, Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana - North president. "These infrastructure enhancements are vital to meeting federal requirements and ensuring the continued safety of our system."
A polyethylene (plastic) system will be installed along a portion of Stenger Lane to replace the current pipeline system. First, the gas main, often located underneath the street or sidewalk, will be replaced within the right-of-way, and then the service lines running directly to homes will be replaced. Upon completion of the project, affected yards, sidewalks and streets will be restored.
Construction is expected to continue through July. A small amount of customers will be affected during construction and were notified prior to the start of work. If after being notified customers still have questions, they are encouraged to contact Customer Service at 1-800-227-1376.
