[StBernard] Atmos response with phone number

[Westley Annis]

Gas service.  

The permit process is basically to have a licensed tradesman (electrician,
plumber, etc) certify that they installed, repaired or examined whatever and
that it meets all current codes for safe operation and use.  Normally, when
the tradesman submits the permit, the parish will send an inspector to
double-check that the work meets the codes.  Once the inspector signs off on
it, the utility is given the ok turn on service.  So you end up with the
parish giving "permission" to the utility to supply service at that
location.

A permit for what?

	This is what I got from Atmos, again that permit issue. How can I
get a 
	permit if I dont know if the gas lines are safe? Well, I'll try that
route 
	and hope others request it to the same area, although I doubt it.

	Atmos is restoring gas in St Bernard Parish. The first residential
areas 
	to be restored will be the areas with the most demand. I have been
receiving 
	most inquiries in the Parish and do not recall many requests for
this area. 
	We will eventually be restoring that area, although it may be about
6 months 
	before we get there. Also, you will need to get a permit from the
Parish 
	before we can restore your gas.If you have any other questions feel
free to 
	call me.
