Project Information

Columbia Gas Projects

The City of Berea is in close contact with Columbia Gas construction leaders regarding lawn and tree lawn restoration complaints after gas line work in the Baker Street, Westbridge Drive, West Street, and Lindbergh Boulevard neighborhoods.  Their team is working on a comprehensive plan to address all concerns and will not depart the project area until impacted yards have been restored to their pre-construction quality.  In the meantime, please continue to water and mow as best you can.  This work will assist restoration crews and help to expedite the process.  Thanks for your continued patience and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns regarding any of Columbia Gas’ projects, please contact Ben Cutler.
