The town of Stafford requires an approval and permit to have a natural gas line mounted outside of a house. During a recent walk of the property the trustees of Island Gate took note of a number of natural gas lines that were not in compliance with town laws and code. It is vital that all Island Gate homeowners be in compliance with these rules and have a permit and town approval for gas lines. Starting in mid June the Stafford Fire Dept. will come to Island Gate to inspect the property for non permitted gas lines and gas line code violations. The trustees will then receive notice of everyone not in compliance. If approvals and permits aren’t received in 30 days after formal notification by the town, fines will be levied by the town of Stafford to the homeowner. Island Gate also reserves the right to levy fines for non-compliance.
Natural gas is highly explosive if not handled properly and the town has rules in place to insure the safe use of natural gas. It is imperative that all of us have approved and permitted natural gas lines.
There has been ample time given to address this issue please handle it promptly.
What to do?
If you have a correctly inspected and permitted gas line, do nothing you are fine.
If you don’t recall having an inspected and permitted gas line you can contact the town for verification, the website below will help you get in contact with the town.
If you put in a gas line and it wasn’t permitted contact the town (see below) to request a permit and get an approval.
