Site Inspections Kitchener Utilities will send someone to your home to verify the meter placement and to ensure all the measurements on the application form are correct. This will happen at the same time as the gas, water and sewer locates. The other participating utilities will come to your home to provide an on-site locate of their underground facilities. One hole is made at the main gas line, another at an intermediate location, and the third hole is made at the house where the meter will be located.
Air pressure is used to push a rocket through the ground from one hole to the other.
If there is an obstruction in the ground, another hole will be dug at the obstruction. The gas line is installed and a pressure test is done to ensure that the gas line is intact. Your heating contractor is responsible for the inside piping and hanging the meter bar. Once the meter bar is attached and the equipment is installed, Kitchener Utilities will come to your home and install the meter and inspect the natural gas equipment. Repairs to the Property Kitchener Utilities will repair any of the grass and sidewalk that may be damaged from putting in the gas line.
