Residential and Commercial New Construction

Follow our simple four steps to bring natural gas to your property.

  1. Builder/property owner applies for service. The following documents are uploaded upon completion of foundation:
    1. Residential Application for Service
    2. New Construction Service Information Form - Project description and preferred gas meter location.
    3. Load Requirements - List of gas equipment including maximum BTU's and preferred delivery pressure.
    4. Site or Plot Plan - Showing meter location, setback dimensions, and any construction obstructions (well, septic, structures, etc.) clearly marked. Meter Clearance Requirement.

  2. Application Review and Permitting: 
     SJG will complete a main service design and conduct a financial analysis to determine if a contrubution is required. SJG will call if there is a cost associated with the installation. If not, permit applications will be submitted to the appropriate municipalities and/or agencies (if required).


  3. SJG's construction team will schedule the Installation after:
    1. Street opening permits are approved
    2. Public and private mark outs are completed. Private mark outs are the responsibility of the property owner. View our Meter Locations video.
    3. Site grading is +/- 6 inches of final grade.
    4. Exterior siding and roofing must be installed.
    5. Customer's fuel line must be out with a visible approved inspection sticker.

  4. Natural Gas Service and Meter are Installed.
    Your natural gas service line and meter are installed and the account is activated. IMPORTANT NOTICE: At the time of sale, the property's account must be transferred from the builder's name to the property owner's name, a deposit may be required.
