Ameren Illinois will be conducting sewer inspections to identify and correct any potential cross bore hazards involving natural gas lines. Usually, these inspections take place by inserting a camera into the sewer main. Occasionally, the sewer main is not accessible and Ameren’s contractor may need to access the sewer line from inside the home. The work is being performed as part of Ameren’s Distribution Integrity Program and managed by Ameren Construction Services.
Sewer cross bores occur when a utility line has been inadvertently installed through a sewer line. This can be particularly dangerous if a natural gas line intersects a sewer line. If a cross-bore situation exists and the natural gas line is damaged, there is the potential for natural gas to leak into the house/business/building.
Televising will begin in February 2025 and will include the following areas:
• John Street to Sangamon Drive (north to south), Crescent Drive to Mattis Avenue (west to east)
• Bloomington Road to Joanne Lane (north to south), Garden Hills Drive to McKinley Avenue (west to east)
