Natural Gas System Rebuild
Entergy New Orleans Gas Rebuild is Ahead of Schedule and Under
Budget
 Entergy
New Orleans, Inc. reached a three-year milestone in Dec. 2009 by rebuilding
135 miles of gas lines throughout the city - ahead of schedule and under
budget. In addition, the world’s largest gas rebuild effort that was launched
in 2007 following Hurricane Katrina has improved gas service reliability to
Entergy New Orleans’ customers by reducing water-related outages by 50 percent
since 2006.
Entergy New Orleans began rebuilding the system in 2007 because corrosion from
Katrina’s floodwaters was causing significant issues for service availability
and reliability. Using state-of-the-art technology and upgraded material, the
company is converting the city’s low-pressure gas system to a high-pressure
system – a customer-focused strategy that aims to increase service reliability
and minimize any disruptions during the restoration process.
Entergy New Orleans is committed to provide safe and reliable gas service to
more than 96,000 customers in New Orleans. Read
