ROCHESTER, NY — January 31, 2022 — Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E) will host an informational public meeting on Thursday, February 10, 2022 for any interested residents, customers and stakeholders in the town of Brighton to learn about the South Winton Road Gas Main Replacement Project. The virtual meeting will introduce the project, including its scope of work, timeline and impacted construction route.

This project is necessary to meet the company’s commitment to provide safe, reliable service to customers and comply with new reliability requirements.
