You may have noticed CenterPoint Energy crews working to upgrade the natural gas system that serves Woodland Heights and surrounding communities. This construction work is focused on replacing aging natural gas mainlines and service lines, a vital step in helping keep our energy delivery infrastructure safe, reliable and ready to serve the neighborhood for years to come.
These upgrades strengthen the integrity of the natural gas system, reduce the likelihood of unplanned outages and support growth in the area. The new infrastructure we’re installing helps enhance the safety and resiliency of our system as we continue providing the natural gas service we know our customers depend on.

Construction will continue to take place Monday through Saturday during daylight hours, and residents may see crews, equipment, traffic control signs, or partial lane closures while work is being performed in the area. In some cases, a temporary gas service interruption may be needed to safely connect the service lines connecting customers’ homes into the new pipeline system. When that happens, CenterPoint’s technicians will coordinate directly with affected customers and restore service as quickly as possible.
