WHAT: SoCalGas will be performing a safety inspection on natural gas pipeline in Placentia starting on March 18. Crews are expected to work in the area through April 2019.

To perform the pipeline work safely, southbound lanes on Placentia Avenue will be reduced to one lane near the construction site during work hours.

Traffic control signs and cones will help direct the flow of traffic. Residents and local businesses near the construction site may hear some work-related noise. During the work hours, commuters passing by the work site will see excavation, equipment and vehicles.

No interruption to natural gas service is anticipated.

Customers may smell the odor of natural gas. Although this is normal when crews are working, SoCalGas encourages anyone who smells gas to call us at 1-800-427-2200. SoCalGas is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
