Infrastructure Modernization

Continuing to Invest in Fredericksburg

Beginning in mid-May 2013, we will invest $2.3 million to upgrade our natural gas infrastructure in downtown Fredericksburg. This pipeline investment will require the transfer of existing customer service lines to the new natural gas facilities and will take approximately 6 months to complete. This project will provide safe, reliable natural gas service to residents and businesses for years to come.
