Gas Meters To Be Inspected In Warren, Watchung

WARREN/WATCHUNG — Public Service Electric & Gas Company (PSE&G) will be inspecting natural gas meters in Warren and Watchung through the month of September to ensure the continued safety and reliability of gas services.

“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.”

If a customer’s meter is inside, someone over the age of 18 will need to give technicians access to the
meter for a visual inspection. Meters that are located outside will also be inspected. Although technicians will
be on the property, customers do not need to be home for outside meter inspections.

• The inspection is free and will take about 10 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 reminds customers to 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.

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.
