PSE&G reminds customers to always ask for identification when a utility worker comes to the door.
Public Service Electric & Gas Company (PSE&G) will begin inspecting natural gas meters in Bordentown City, Bordentown Township, Mt. Laurel and Riverton within the next 30 days to ensure the continued safety and reliability of gas services.
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 your property, customers do not need to be home for outside meter inspections.
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.
“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.”
PSE&G also offers the following information about the inspection process:
· 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.
