PADUCAH — Natural gas distributor Atmos Energy will continue a project to replace steel pipe and other infrastructure with high density polyethylene pipe for its service territory in Kentucky. The Paducah phase of the project will begin next week.
“Atmos Energy is committed to safety. It is our number one priority,” said Sean Jones, operations manager for Paducah. “We are continuing to replace pipe in different parts of Paducah, and we will begin next week.”
Part of the project includes replacing approximately 50 service lines — lines from street to house — and each homeowner will be informed accordingly. Streets involved include:
- Bethel Street from Bridge Street to Irvin Cobb Drive
- Parker Street from Bethel Street to dead end
- Locust Street from Bridge Street to Powell Street
- Powell Street from Thurman Street to Tully Street
- Tully Street from Wayne Sullivan Drive to Irvin Cobb Drive
Atmos Energy will work with local officials should it need to close roads. The anticipated date of completion is late August 2024, notwithstanding unforeseen complications.
