Efficiency made my day!

[Guest guest]

Today about 2 pm, I was working in my front yard trimming the

neighbor's tree branches that were hanging over on my walkways.

After I got the branches down and cleared I had to sweep the

walkways for leaves, dust, etc. I noticed my gas meter had leaves on

it, so I tried to sweep them away, but ended up using my hands (was

wearing gloves), and so I was quite close to the meter. I smelled

gas, then I saw a crack in one of the pipes. Listened for a 'hissing sound' but

didn't hear one.

Came inside to call the Gas Company, about 2:30. Got through in 2

seconds to report the leak. The woman who took my calll assured me

someone would be at my place before 8 pm to check it out.

1/2 hour went by, then my doorbell rang and 3. It was the Gas

Company serviceman. I explained the problem and we both went to look

at the meter, I showed him the crack I noticed and he showed me

exactly where 2 gas leaks were. I thanked him and the Gas Company

for being so responsive and efficient. Plus there was no charge,

since it is the meter outside. The meter was fixed and now there is

no leak, and no leaves around it either!

It just made my day to know that " Efficiency " and customer service

is still a mark of good business. (How wonderful living would be if

all businesses, companies, organizations, and governmental agencies

could be this efficient!)

Just wanted to share something good and pleasant from life today.
