Generally, on new service applications (not
requiring a gas main extension), a Fort Hill distribution
technician will inspect the property to propose the most direct
route of gas service installation within 5 working days of the
application. The proposed gas meter location will be marked by the
placement of a yellow flag at a point adjacent to the house or
structure to be served. After placement of the flag, it is the
customer's responsibility to immediately contact our engineering
department if there are any complications or required changes
associated with the proposed meter site. After installation of your
service, any relocation of the service or height adjustment of the
meter will require initiation of another work order with additional
charges of $50.00 plus $5.00 per foot for any additional
footage.
The actual site inspection for meter site selections on projects
that will require a gas main extension will be dependent upon how
quickly tap fees are received for the project. After enough fees
have been received to meet our minimum criteria and the project is
approved, it will then be entered into our construction schedule in
chronological order. Our distribution technicians will then begin
inspecting and flagging individual meter sites for the structures
on the project.
