In the days just before Halloween, Massachusetts residents impacted by the Sept. 13 natural gas explosion received both a trick and a treat.
While a project to replace just about 45-miles of pipeline and nearly 6,000 service lines in Lawrence, Andover and North Andover was completed three weeks early on Oct. 30, Columbia Gas says full gas service will not be completed until Dec. 16—about a month after the initial Nov. 19 deadline to fully complete the project.
