Under no circumstance shall anyone not employed by the gas utility be permitted to
open or make connections to a gas main, service pipe or service extension, or set
or remove the meter, or do any work on any part of the gas supply system including
the meter (except that gas may be turned off at the meter in case of leak, fire, or
hazardous conditions). Where the meter has been turned off, the gas utility shall
be notified and, after repairs have been made and approved, the meter shall be turned
on and service restored by an employee of the gas utility.
