Stuff like that can make a customer go postal, paying a little “visit” to the utility company’s office!
Well I certainly hope you get some satisfaction here. We recently remodeled a house in Lafayette California and the electric service and gas service were delivered to the right front corner of the house. PG&E wants the gas meter physically separated from the electric meter by a reasonable number of feet because occasionally the gas meter will burp out a little bit of gas if there’s a little excess pressure in the line; it is meant to do that but of course they don’t want to see that next to an electrical panel. So we were faced with having to move the gas meter because we wanted to upgrade the electrical service to 200 amp in order to do that we were going to have to dig up and relocate the gas line which would have been very costly because I believe in California gas lines need to be 3ft deep and permitted of course and bedded in gravel. It’s not like running a PVC irrigation pipe 10 inches under the surface. I hope on this thread you will ultimately report as to what the resolution was.
