New high pressure gas mains are being installed in residential areas north of West Broadway in Cedarhurst, village officials said.
National Grid has already begun the work on Grant, Kensington and Trysting places, and Monroe Street and Oakland Avenue. The work will then continue on First and Lincoln streets.
Century-old low pressure gas mains are being replaced with modern and safer high pressure mains that can deliver the increased volumes of natural gas needed to operate the hundreds of standby generators that have been installed in Cedarhurst after Hurricane Sandy.
