REGARDING:
“The gas office was closed when I got home so I couldn’t call them. I am NOT buying the pilot light excuse.”

You agree that s what SHOULD be done, yes?

They had no problem replacing my meter on Christmas Eve and they didn’t come inside to check the pilot lights or to make sure my home “was safe”. They never mentioned anything to my disabled son who was home at the time either. When I got home from work I had to turn the pilot on to the stove and furnace and thank God the weather was warm because the pilot switch knob was broken on my furnace and we couldn’t get it repaired until the day after Christmas because of the holiday. The gas office was closed when I got home so I couldn’t call them. I am NOT buying the pilot light excuse.

thanks for that comment.

Is liability going to stop the world in it’s tracks.

Perhaps the town should consult their attn and see if a government employee has more legal protection, as in sovereign immunity from lawsuits or something

What a mess..

I wonder if they thought of that. You can’t have the mindset of wait until this goes away.

They could be calling emergency council meetings via phone and really solve problems

How about that council president?

That is unacceptable. Don PPE and get the work done. Continuing to lose public dollars is illegal called malfeasance. No excuses (That means personal protective equipment)

Municipal services and delivering the product in a professional and safe way don’t get a pass even during a state of emergency. Does the declaration lend the ability to apply for more funds and relief.– perhaps federal $ or state? Get smart. Figure it out, I know you can,

so why wasn’t that contract worked out. GWTP. (that means get with the program)

The stay at home order is not an excuse.

IMHO (That means) In my humble opinion

We all have one.

Well we all know that if the meters are replaced with working units, people will actually have to start paying for gas. With Century, it’s one sorry excuse after another.

What a bunch of bologna. It isn’t rocket science. You wear a mask and gloves and disinfect the appliance before and after plus anything you may come in contact with. You place a social distance marker and get it done and leave.
Myself and other reputable appliance servicers do it daily on every call as it should be. Reads like a stall tactic.
