Safety remains paramount for DTE Energy as they jointly conduct over 100,000 natural gas meter safety inspections each year. These rigorous inspections are a vital part of ensuring that homes and businesses in the region are safe and enjoy a reliable supply of natural gas year-round.
Customers with indoor meters or meters in secured areas play a crucial role in this safety initiative by scheduling meter safety inspections when requested by DTE. Michigan state regulations mandate a gas meter safety inspection every 36 months, comprising a comprehensive visual assessment of the meter, piping, and components, along with a leak check using specialized gas detectors.
DTE urges customers who receive inspection notices to comply promptly, emphasizing that it is essential for safety. Failure to comply may result in gas service disconnection and incurring costly restoration fees. Prioritizing safety through these inspections is a shared responsibility that benefits all.
