Roads and sidewalks to be impacted, with permanent improvements completed in warmer weather 

Starting January 21, 2025, Enbridge Gas Ohio will begin a gas main and service line improvement project to enhance service for Bluffton residents.

Key Details:
• Replacement of approximately 5,200 feet of gas mainline and service connections.
• Estimated duration is up to 50 workdays.
• Our team will coordinate directly with affected residents to ensure a smooth transition to the new gas lines.
• All authorized employees and contractors will carry photo IDs.
• Due to winter weather, temporary concrete will be installed on sidewalks and driveways, with permanent finishing to follow once conditions improve.

From Enbridge Gas Ohio: "We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve your gas service."
