Problems with Gas Line Replacement Work in your Yard?

If you are not satisfied with the cleanup from the Centerpoint Energy gas line work--concrete repair to curbs and driveways, and especially yards restoration--call their customer service!

Be persistent and get to a live person to turn in a complaint.

The contractor, Miller Pipeline, www.millerpipeline.com, (501) 372-6997, should be smoothing out and sodding yards. As you may have observed, they are simply putting some rocky dirt over holes, smoothing it with backhoes, seeding with cheap annual ryegrass and throwing hay down.

Recent rain has washed away much of the dirt and caused mud pits in some yards.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THE CONTRACTOR PROPERLY SODS YOUR YARD.

If equipment is still parked on your yard or supplies still stored on your yard call Centerpoint Customer Service at 800-992-7552
