National Grid needs to replace my gas service (the gas line is corroded). To do this, they will need to dig under a slate patio in front of my house. The serviceman who checked the line said it’s not an immediate danger (since the copper sleeve inside is fully intact) but it’s a repair that should be done sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

The employees keep saying “I don’t have the authority to put it in writing” and I have repeatedly said that, yes, I do want the repair to the gas line, but I just want something in writing stating they will restore the stone as-is. They also said they’re not sure the supervisor “has a pen and paper on him”.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" National Grid needs to replace my gas service (the gas line is corroded).
