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 Jeffrey Dubois, senior vice president and chief operating officer for South Jersey Gas. “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.
