Great Plains Natural Gas Pipeline Replacement Project
Great Plains Natural Gas will replace existing natural gas main pipelines and service lines in a portion of Redwood Falls over the next couple of months. The replacement project is an on-going integrity management process to ensure the safety and reliability of the natural gas system. Through an evaluation, Great Plains identifies sections of pipe for replacement based on physical and operation & maintenance components.
The Redwood Falls project began May 8 and will take approximately six to seven months, depending on weather conditions and any other unanticipated delays. The work will require a short interruption of natural gas service for customers. A company representative will contact affected customers to schedule a brief shut-off and then relight of appliances.
Please refer to Great Plains’ website for more information and a map that outlines the area where the replacement work will occur.
