Please securely confine your DOG

Even friendly dogs can get aggressive about protecting their owners and their turf. That’s why it’s important to securely confine your dog in an area that safely separates your pet from The Gas Company employee on meter reading days and during service calls to your home. Doing so helps employees of The Gas Company provide you with exceptional customer service and avoid dog bite injuries.

To play it safe, please:

• Mark your meter reading date on your calendar, then provide us with a safe path to the gas meter by confining your dog in the house, garage or behind a locked fence. You’ll find meter reading dates printed near the top of your gas bill. To request an annual meter reading schedule, call The Gas Company at 1-800-427-2200.
• Always securely confine your dog away from the gas meter, the appliances to be serviced or other work area before we arrive. A tied, leashed, or chained dog does not provide our employee with a safe work environment and may result in your service call being rescheduled. If you add a dog to your residence, please contact us at the 800 number listed above so we can update our records.
