My OperaM Street About to Pass Gas

Sometime in the next month, a good portion of the street, and feeder lines into the houses, will apparently be torn up to replace the lines with modern stuff. That's the merry month of May. If the project goes smoothly. June, one supposes, if not.
This has not been officially communicated by the authorities. Just a dump truck driver positioned in front of the house. Then again, when dealing with Washington Gas or Pepco, no one in the District is really in a position of authority. They answer only to their own bureaucracy.
Perhaps the 900 and 1000 blocks of M Street will be paved with steel plates, like O Street to the north. Perhaps someday the steel plates will be removed and the street itself repaved to smoothness. This Wikipedia page comes to mind.
