HU natural gas crews have completed the southeast loop to South Johnson Chapel Road, says Engineering Services Manager Glen Partlow. HU has applied for permits to complete the remainder of the project, and Partlow says he expects the state to issue the permits within the next few weeks.
Crews have installed 18,501 feet of natural gas line this year. “We have 3,200 feet left to close the southeast gas loop,” Partlow says. Completing the loop will create a two-way feed, which will increase pressure and reliability in the county throughout the system, he says, but in particular the Danville High School and Elementary School area.
