Gas pipeline upgrades to begin in Lafayette, West Lafayette Lafayette, Ind. — Contract crews working for Vectren Energy Delivery (Vectren) will soon begin replacing gas mains and service lines in Lafayette and West Lafayette as part of the company’s pipeline replacement program, which is a multi-year program to replace about 1,300 miles of bare steel and cast iron pipeline infrastructure throughout Indiana. In these cities, more than $5.4 million will go toward retiring nearly 5.5 miles of gas main and approximately 540 service lines in 2017. Since 2008, more than 27 miles have been retired within these cities. Vectren intends to retire a total of nearly 40 miles in Lafayette and West Lafayette over the next several years. “To ensure the continued reliability of our natural gas pipeline systems and service, Vectren has undertaken a program to replace essentially all of our bare steel and cast iron pipeline infrastructure in addition to other improvements to our natural gas delivery system,” 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 for decades to come.” Streets affected during the first project in Lafayette include: Stanforth Drive, Catula Avenue, 16th Street, Durango Street, Esplanade Street, Sinton Avenue, El Prado Street, King Street, El Granda Street and Logan Avenue. Visit the Active Projects tab on www.vectren.com/pipelinereplacement to view an interactive map displaying all streets in Lafayette and West Lafayette where construction will take place in 2017. In most cases, a polyethylene (plastic) system is being installed to replace the current bare steel and cast iron gas pipeline system. First, the gas main, which is a gas pipeline that ranges in size from 2” to 8” and is often underneath the street or sidewalk, will be replaced within the right-of-way, and then the service lines running directly to homes and businesses will be replaced. Upon completion of the project, affected yards, sidewalks and streets will be restored. “Construction for these pipeline projects may take several weeks to complete, and times may vary based on the size of the project, weather, ground surface/soil and other situations that may arise,” said Roeder. “Please be assured that Vectren and its contractors will make every effort to complete each project as quickly as possible and minimize impact to customers and the community.” Prior to service replacement, a Vectren representative will contact customers to provide an overview of the required work. Vectren reminds residents to please keep the following in mind: •

Please exercise caution when driving through the construction zones.



We urge residents and their children to keep a safe distance away from any work zones.

Lafayette and West Lafayette are two of nearly 75 cities in Indiana undergoing this type of pipeline replacement. Since 2008, more than 400 miles of gas mains have been replaced in the Vectren North territory, which has led to a reduction in leak calls and natural gas emissions from the distribution system.
