July 16, 2008 |

Clarksville Gas and Water (CGW) has scheduled work to begin on July 15, 2008 to replace approximately 1,800 ft. of aged natural gas pipe in the downtown area. The existing 6 inch steel pipe will be replaced with 6 inch, polyethylene (plastic) pipe beginning at Second Street approximately 175 feet south of Commerce Street and then along Madison and Hiter Streets, Cobb Alley, Fifth Street and ending on Commerce Street approximately 300 ft. west of University Avenue.
