Folsom,
NJ - As a safety precaution, South Jersey
Gas advises all residents -- especially senior citizens --
to request the identification of utility workers attempting
to enter their homes or access their property. South Jersey
Gas identification cards display the employee’s photo,
full name, employee number, signature and company logo.
“To ensure our customers’ safety, we urge all
residents to check the ID of utility workers requesting access
to their homes or property,” said Bonnie Bornstein,
vice president of sales, marketing and customer service. “All
South Jersey Gas employees carry or wear official identification
cards. Residents will also know our employees by their trucks
and uniforms. Any South Jersey Gas employee who needs to
enter a home will gladly present their identification cards
for customer review.”
If an individual cannot produce identification, call the
police immediately. Residents may also call the South Jersey
Gas Customer Care Center at 1-888-766-9900 to verify if gas
utility work was scheduled on or near their premises.
