The week of November 10, Enbridge Gas will start a gas main replacement project on Lomond Blvd. between Lee Rd. and Daleford Rd. This is phase 1 of this project and is anticipated to take 30 days. Phase 2 of the Lomond Blvd. gas main replacement project will start in the spring between Daleford Rd. and Glencairn Rd.
Impacted residents received notifications in the mail with additional information.
For public safety, the work site has signs, barricades and warning lights in place. Please follow the traffic patterns the contractor has established. Also, please help keep neighborhood children safe by warning them about the danger of playing in the construction site or on any of the equipment.
Meter Upgrade & Move to Exterior of Residence
As part of this project, Enbridge will upgrade gas meters and move gas meters from the inside to the outside of homes. Enbridge is moving meters throughout its service area, including in Shaker Heights, due to new state regulations that will require new gas connections and meters to be accessible outside of residential buildings and above grade. Enbridge will communicate with homeowners directly about moving the meter.
City regulations for exterior, above grade gas meters are as follows:
- Permitted in the rear and side yards, close to the foundation. In the case of a narrow side yard, the meter may be protected from driveways with bollards if deemed necessary by the installer/utility. Bollards must be of a dark or neutral color.
- Permitted in the front yard only if surrounded by evergreen shrubs planted at the height of the unit and allowed to grow to completely screen the unit within 5 years.
- A front yard location is only allowed after a showing that a rear or side yard location is impracticable by the installer and written acceptance that the homeowner will install the required evergreen landscaping.
