Growth within the far northeast portion of City of Mesa's gas
system has resulted in the need for infrastructure improvements
to maintain gas supply during times of peak demand. The Gas
System Master Plan identified the gas main on Power Road as a
critical component of infrastructure required to meet the
natural gas demands for the 2013/2014 heating season.
This new gas main will consist of approximately
5,380 linear feet of 4-inch high pressure coated steel gas pipe.
This project will install the gas main along Power Road from
McDowell Road to Thomas Road. There will also be a gas district
regulator station installed on the west side of Power Road, just
south of Thomas Road. Once installed the new gas main will
become critical feed to the far northeast part of Mesa.
