**UPDATE (5:33 p.m.):** Here’s the latest from National Grid. Looks like they may theoretically restore 100 percent service today after all, assuming they can access the homes:

> More than 50 percent have been restored (about 600 meters).

> An additional 20 percent (about 200 meters) are available for re-light once we have access to the homes. We are contacting customers and leaving a note to let them know that we need access to their homes to re-light the appliances.

> Restoration efforts continue, we are pumping water out of the remaining sections of the gas main so that we can make the remaining 30 percent (400 meters) available for re-light by the end of the day. So far more than 32,000 gallons of water have been removed from the system.

> We will be onsite over the weekend to continue to re-light customers based on their availability.

National Grid’s spokesperson Karen Young just got in touch with us with an update on the Ocean Parkway natural gas situation. She writes:

> [Since the last update](/national-grid-restores-30-of-service-to-ocean-pkwy-customers-but-100-more-are-now-without-service/), we restored service to 40 percent and we’re in the process of re-lighting another 20 percent as access to the homes becomes available. We have pumped out approximately 32,000 gallons of water. Crews continue to work hard today.

[Natural gas service to 1,200 Gravesend homes was cut](/1000-households-affected-in-ocean-parkway-gas-crisis-national-grid-says-service-to-be-restored-friday/) after a [high-pressure water main leak on Ocean Parkway and Avenue U erupted ](/national-grid-ocean-pkwy-gas-service-disrupted/)on [Tuesday](/gas-leak-means-no-service-for-some-ocean-parkway-residents/). Thousands of gallons of water gushed into a 12-inch low-pressure National Grid gas main, and workers must go door-to-door to relight appliances.
