If you return home and find that your natural gas appliances are not working, please check your mailbox or gas meter box for one of our notification cards as there may have been a network supply issue that required us to turn off your natural gas service temporarily. If that is the case, the notification card will provide details about why this has happened and instructions on what to do. 

IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THE INFORMATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CARD, IN FULL.

If you have received a “Card 14 - How to Safely Turn on Your Gas Supply” the card will take you through how to turn your gas meter on and restore gas to your appliances.  

How to light pilot light for a gas storage hot water
