Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) runs an extensive gas service safety inspection and maintenance program to ensure safe operation and delivery of natural gas to all customers.
As part of the gas system maintenance program, PG&E has contracted with Alisto Engineering 
Group to perform regular gas meter inspections to look for corrosion (rust). If we identify a meter with corrosion, PG&E will repair and/or replace the meter as necessary.
You can verify our presence in your neighborhood by calling our chief inspector, Jess Borrego, at (559) 381-2353; or PG&E’s customer service line at 1-800-PGE-5000.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- During inspections, you may see our employee on or near your property to access your meter. Our work will not affect your gas service.
- We will visually inspect your gas meter and meter components to verify and identify possible areas of corrosion. We will use a mobile device to record our inspection and to take photos of the meter ID, piping and the entire meter set.
- If we cannot easily access your meter, we will record the access issue in our mobile device, and PG&E will schedule an appointment for access at later date.
- You will receive additional notice if PG&E needs to make any repairs or schedule a follow up inspection.
- Our inspectors will be in safety gear with the PG&E logo and carry both PG&E and Alisto photo identification, which they will be happy to present upon your request.
