2) Washington Gas PROJECT PIPES

Washington Gas is committed to providing its customers with safe, reliable

natural gas service. As part of its ongoing pipeline replacement work,

Washington Gas has initiated an accelerated program – PROJECT pipes - to

replace certain pipelines in the District of Columbia.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

•        Formerly known as the DC Accelerated Pipe Replacement Plan (DC

APRP), PROJECT pipes is a proactive strategy, that is approved and

regulated by the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia (PSC).

PROJECT pipes will replace 40 miles of natural gas pipelines in the first

5 years and nearly 500 miles in total pipeline infrastructure over the

40-year time span of the project.

•        The cast iron and bare steel mains and services to be replaced are

prioritized based upon their age and repair history.

•        While work is in progress, there may be temporary inconveniences.

Washington Gas will strive to minimize any impact in your community during

construction.
