PARSIPPANY — Public Service Electric & Gas Company (PSE&G) will be inspecting natural gas meters in Parsippany this month, along with other towns in Morris County.
“Customer safety is our number one priority,” said Joe Forline, vice president of gas operations for PSE&G. “It’s important for us to conduct safety inspections like these so that we can check for surface corrosion, leaks and other conditions that might require attention or repair.”
“In the majority of the towns, we will be starting inspections in mid-July, around the week of July 18,” Puliti said. It typically takes four to six weeks to complete these inspections in a town, conditions permitting.”
If a customer has an inside meter, someone over the age of 18 will need to give technicians access to the meter for a visual inspection, according to a press release from PSE&G, which said that meters that are located outside will also be inspected.
Although technicians will be on your property, customers do not need to be home for outside meter inspections.
•PSE&G also said the following about the inspection process:
•The inspection is free and will take about ten minutes.
•Customers do not need to make an appointment at this time.
•Unless a meter requires immediate repair, there will be no interruption to service.
•Service will not be turned off during this inspection due to billing status.
PSE&G said that customers should always ask for identification when a utility worker comes to the door. Employees carry a PSE&G photo identification badge, wear PSE&G logo apparel and drive PSE&G cars or trucks, the release said.
If a customer is concerned in any way, they should call PSE&G’s customer service line at 800-436-PSEG (7734) to verify the identity of an employee.
