Equitable Gas Announces Gas Line Replacement

Washington Road Traffic Pattern Modified

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Equitable Gas announced today that it will
begin replacing a major natural gas line that runs along a section of
Washington Rd. in Mt. Lebanon. The project is aimed at enhancing the security
of the pipeline system by replacing an aging 12-inch steel gas line, and is
projected to run between January 14 and the end of May, 2009.

Work on the new steel pipeline will be centered around Washington Road between
Shady Drive and Lebanon Avenue in Mt. Lebanon Borough, and Equitable Gas will
be working closely with Penn Dot and Mt. Lebanon Police to minimize traffic
disruption in the area.

Work on the 1800-foot section of line will necessitate closing the two
outbound lanes of the four-lane road during the hours of 9:00 am and 7:00 pm,
Monday through Friday. During these hours no parking will be permitted in the
work zone.
