From Utility Line Services: 
​
Another biweekly update on our progress in Narberth.  Since the last update the crew laying main on Narberth Ave have nearly completed their installation from Haverford Ave to Woodbine with a tentative date set for this Wednesday for the tie in and gas on.  From There they will continue laying on Narberth Ave from Woodbine Ave to Montgomery Ave with lateral pieces extending out to the tie in points on Wayne Ave and Price Ave East of Narberth. 
 
The conversion of the gas main on Barrie Rd off of Essex Ave went without a hitch completing our work on Barrie. 
 
The crew that did the conversion has since moved over to the culvert work at Woodside and Wynnewood once they have the pipe through the culvert they will continue installing the main up Wynnewood Rd to the train bridge.  Once all the main is installed through the culvert and up to the train bridge we will put the main on gas.  Once on gas there will be a single tie in by the dead end of Elmwood on the opposite side of the creek to tie in the leg we laid in 2016. 
 
The crew laying main on Grayling Ave have completed the installation and the main is now active.  They have since moved on to another township.
 
We will be moving a crew in Monday next week to begin retiring some of the old mains where the service crews have transferred all of the services to the new main.  The streets we intend to retire are listed below.

• Meetinghouse Lane between Montgomery Ave and Iona Ave
• Williams Ave between Woodbine and Meetinghouse Lane
• Iona Ave between Montgomery and Woodbine
• Iona Ave between Haverford Ave and Woodbine

 
Once the mains are retired on these streets this crew will move up to Price Ave to install the main between Narberth Ave and Grayling Ave.  This main will not be on gas until the main on Narberth Ave between Woodbine and Montgomery Ave is tied in. 
 
The service crews may begin to reenter Narberth mid to late next week as they wrap up the first stretch of services on Montgomery Ave in Lower Merion.  They will move to Grayling Ave between Woodbine and Price first then move to the Essex Ave project working services on the streets listed below.

• Essex Ave from Haverford Ave to Montgomery Ave
• Wynnedale Rd and Circle from Essex to the dead end
• Shady Lane from Wynnedale to Montgomery
• Stepney place from Montgomery Ave to Essex Ave
• Elm Terrace from Essex Ave to the dead end

"I wanted to take this opportunity to update you all on our progression in Narberth with our 2018 PECO AGIMP project.  Since the last email the crew we had laying main on Forrest Ave have completed their installation and the main was brought on gas yesterday.  They have moved to the Narberth Ave project.   They will start at Haverford Ave and progress toward Woodbine where the first section will be tied in on both ends and gas on.  After that they will progress on Narberth Ave to and through the intersection at Montgomery Ave and Narberth Ave and complete the second phase tie in and gas on.
 
The crew laying main on Woodbine between Montgomery Ave and Essex Ave have completed the installation and gas on procedure.  This crew will be moving to the installation of the gas main under the culvert at Woodside and Wynnewood rd.  upon the completion of the installation of the main through the culvert the crew will continue to lay the main up Wynnewood Rd to the train bridge then gas on for all the pipe installed.
 
The main crew installing on Meeting house Lane between Iona Ave and Montgomery Ave as well as Williams Ave between Meetinghouse and Woodbine have completed their installation and gas on procedure.  They then moved to Wayne Ave between Narberth and Essex and have got the gas on there as well.  They have moved to Grayling Ave between Price ave and Woodbine and we expect to have the gas on this main by the end of next week.  This crew will then be moving on to another township.
 
The conversion of the gas main on Barrie rd off of Essex Ave is scheduled to be done on Friday July 6th.
