    Case Resolved | Dear Constituent, National Grid responding to a gas leak on your street activated an emergency permit. Emergency work must be performed no matter what time of day or night in the interest of public safety and the protection of private property. This proved to be a very difficult repair, resulting in National Grid working into the night. The job is now completed. National Grid always calls for a police detail However unfortunately sometimes the details are not filled We spoke to National Grid about why they did not have the excavation coned off with solid hooks. They stated that the crew was moving the backhoe but the acknowledged that they should have had the hole barricaded and coned off at all times and this will not happen again The city apologizes for the inconvenience this necessary work caused. If you want to discuss this matter further, please don't hesitate to contact the number listed below . Sincerely, Mark Cardarelli Supervisor of Utility Coordination and Compliance Boston Public Works Department 617-635-4951 Office
