Gas-Line Work Comes to Lowry Hill Streets This Summer
CenterPoint Energy began upgrading natural gas infrastructure in Lowry Hill, Lowry Hill East and East Isles on or about June 1, 2026, in a project the utility expects to run up to 15 weeks.
Most of the work involves relocating gas meters from inside homes to outside, with crews replacing the main gas line on some blocks, according to a notice the Lowry Hill Neighborhood Association posted to its members. CenterPoint typically completes about one block per week and mails a postcard to each address before its crew arrives.
Residents on active blocks should expect parking restrictions, occasional single-sidewalk closures and possible lane shifts while crews are on site, the utility says. Before any digging, existing lines are located and marked, which adds signage and activity ahead of excavation.
Anyone who smells gas should leave the area immediately and call 911 and CenterPoint's emergency line rather than wait for a crew. Project details and sign-ups for updates are posted at centerpointenergy.com; the neighborhood association can be reached at [email protected].
The gas work overlaps with other digging in the area this summer. The Metropolitan Council's Environmental Services division is replacing and enlarging the regional sewer along The Mall near Lake of the Isles, a project (No. 804125) expected to run from spring into late summer 2026 with restoration continuing afterward.
