Meter Reads

Gas meters are read on a cycle basis throughout the month on what SJG calls "routes". There are 20 routes in every month and every customer account is read with its assigned route once per month. These cycle-read customers are included in the Company's Retail Billing System. All commercial and residential billing information is communicated via a text file sent via email. Typically, 2 days after the meter is read, SJG bills the customer. The consumption is communicated to the marketer the following day after each cycle bills. Consumption is communicated in therms. Marketers are provided with a file format to assist in the conversion of the text file to excel and a meter reading schedule alerts the marketer as to when to expect a file.
