SALEM — The City of Salem Public Works Dept. plans to replace gas meters to each residence N. College Ave. from Boone St. to Park St. and all of W. Park St. beginning Monday June 10, 2019, weather permitting.

This process should be completed within 2 weeks and will be performed during regular weekday hours. This will involve shutting off gas individually to each house and customers should be without service for about a half hour.

The City of Salem gas dept. will shut off gas to individual houses and will attempt to do so with the residents present. The City gas dept. will provide for re-lighting of gas appliance pilots.

If residents are not at home, a card providing instructions for contact information will be left on the front door. For this program, re-lighting of appliance pilots can be scheduled after hours by contacting 618-548-2232.

As always, residents are encouraged to verify identity and company of any persons requesting entry into a private residence.

If you have questions, please contact Salem City Hall at 618-548-2222.
