Stoneham Gas Main Work Could Take Up To 2 Months

STONEHAM, MA — National Grid is working on Elm Street to replace and relocate the gas main between Central and Waverly Streets. Work is expected to last about 6-8 weeks and will take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Customers in the area will have their gas services replaced and transferred to the new gas main. Each gas service transfer will be scheduled in advance with the customer and they can expect a short interruption of gas service on the day of the work on the service. The customer will need to allow our contractor and company technician’s access to the property in order to restore the gas service. Final activation must be performed by a National Grid Technician. This will be done on the same day that the gas service is replaced by the Contractor (see below).

National Grid and/or a qualified contractor (RJ Devereaux Corp) will perform the work. A police detail will be provided. The road will be open to the public and parking may be limited. A construction foreman with appropriate identification will be on site to address your parking needs throughout the duration of the project.

Meters may need to be relocated to the outside of the home or business. There may be a lag between temporary and permanent restoration of the street and sidewalk, depending on weather and ground conditions. Relighting of all appliances will only be performed by National Grid personnel, not a contractor. Relights will be coordinated by National Grid in conjunction with the contractor performing the work. If you have any questions about the project, please call Robert Colliton, Construction Supervisor at 781-296-4375. For general inquiries, National Grid Customer Service can be reached 24/7 at 1 (800) 233-5325.
