Dear Resident/Business Owner:
This is an important notice informing you National Grid will be working in your neighborhood on Bacon St from Lagrange St to Mystic Valley Pkwy; Lagrange St from Bacon St to Norwood St; Norwood St from Church St to Central St; Cottage Ave from Bacon St to Norwood St; Central St from Bacon St to Rangeley Rd; Harrington Rd from Bacon St to the dead end; and Everett Ave from Bacon St to Stratford Rd in order to replace and/or relocate the gas main.
The first phase of the project will begin on or about March 3rd,2022, on Bacon St from Lagrange St to Mystic Valley Pkwy, and will continue for approximately 1 month. Work will then take place on the remaining streets after this phase, weather permitting, and will continue for approximately 2 months. Work will generally take place from 7:00am – 4:00pm, Monday – Friday. National Grid customers, within the scope of the project, will have their gas services replaced and transferred to the new gas main in the street. 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 technicians access to the property in order to restore the gas service. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience, but this project is part of our commitment to provide continuous improvements and keep the natural gas delivery system safe and reliable.

NOT A NATIONAL GRID NATURAL GAS CUSTOMER?
If you do not have a gas service to your home/business or are not currently using natural gas for heating, this is the easiest time to make the switch to clean, reliable natural gas. Please be aware that if your street is repaved, it will be some years before National Grid has permission to reopen the street and/or sidewalk. For more details about our many conversion incentives, please call 1-877-696-4743.
