[StBernard] Atmos Gas Service

[Westley Annis]

So this means we have to spend more money we don't have to pay someone to do
their job? Hmm maybe I will convert to electric; its already up and running;
if Atmos want customers back, they could be the ones going out of their way
for their customers. Don't they know every little issue becomes a full time
job and we are running out of money and patience? Mudpie

	I received a phone call today from Atmos. The customer service rep 
	said my email was forwarded to her. She said Atmos is diligently 
	working the areas between Judge Perez and St. Bernard Hwy in Arabi, 
	Chalmette, and Meraux, at this time. She said that their time frame
for 
	restoring gas service to all the residential areas depends upon the 
	requests for service. I told her that she probably isn't getting 
	requests because of Atmos initially telling the parish it would take
a 
	year or two. She said that the fastest way to get your neighborhood 
	restored for gas service is for the homeowners to call Atmos
customer 
	service at 504-849-4300 and request gas service. You will need your 
	licensed plumber to file a permit to turn on the gas service at your

	home once the lines have been repaired. 
	
	Okay, so if you want gas service repaired in your neighborhood
because 
	you are repairing your home now, call the above number and tell them

	how soon you plan to be back home. They do not want to lose their 
	residential customers and understand that if the gas service isn't 
	there when the resident returns, once the appliances are bought,
they 
	lost the customer for a long time. She said they may have sections
that 
	have demand back in service as early as May-July timeframe. 
	
	I told her that Corinne Estates is already underway with restoration

	and to expect to receive request phone calls from the 3500 to 3800 
	blocks of Corinne Avenue.
