Statement From Bath Electric Gas And Water Systems

Beginning May 2026 and extending through 2028, we will be undertaking significant improvements for the Village’s natural gas and water utilities. This work will be completed under three construction contracts, and will involve a combination of open excavation and horizontal direction drilling to replace natural gas and water mains and service lines.  We recognize these projects will be disruptive to vehicular and pedestrian traffic on local and State roads within the Village of Bath and nearby areas in the Town of Bath. We sincerely apologize in advance for any inconvenience.  The first phases of work, taking place May to June 2026, will involve work on: Cook Street, Allen Street, Colonial Lawns.  While the following is subject to change, currently, other streets scheduled for work in 2026 include: Belfast Street, West Street, East Steuben Street / State Route 415, McMaster Street, May Street, East Washington Street.  Please know if you are an impacted customer, you will be notified in advance.  We greatly appreciate your support, patience, and understanding as we put federal, state, and local dollars to use investing in our utility infrastructure and improving the safety and reliability of the utility services we provide.
