STEPS TO GET NATURAL GAS HOOKED UP

1. Fill out Customer Application for service and draw a map of the proposed gas line route on the 2nd page of the application. On your map, please include locations of ALL private lines (SEWER LINES, WELL, SPRINKLER SYSTEM, SECONDARY POWER LINES, SECONDARY FUEL LINE, ETC). Paul Bunyan Natural Gas is NOT liable for damage to private lines. Then return the Customer Application/Map to Paul Bunyan Natural Gas, Po Box 721, Mapleton, MN 56065
   
   
2. Paul Bunyan Natural Gas will flag the proposed route of the gas line using the map on the 2nd page of the Customer Application. Paul Bunyan Natural Gas’s contractor will then call in the Gopher State One Call ticket for the proposed route to be located. If you have an issue with the white flags identifying the proposed route of the gas line please call Paul Bunyan Natural Gas at 800-367-6964 by the end of the next business day. If we do not hear from you by the end of the next business day, we will assume that there are no problems with the proposed route.
   
   
3. After existing utilities has been located on your property, Paul Bunyan Natural Gas will be out within 1-2 weeks (or sooner) to install the service line to your house.
   
   
4. IT IS THE CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY to call a heating contractor for an estimate to convert all appliances to natural gas and COMMIT to a heating contractor to do the conversion. Once the SERVICE LINE is up to the house, you will need to let your contractor know that your service is UP TO THE HOUSE. We do communicate with the heating contractors on general construction status; however, it is the customer’s responsibility to notify the heating contractor that the service line has been installed. ALL CONVERSIONS ARE DONE AT THE CUSTOMER’S EXPENSE. In addition, any secondary lines will be billed to the customer at $5.50 per foot for trenching and $10.50 per foot for boring.
   
   
5. It is the CONTRACTOR’S responsibility to contact Paul Bunyan Natural Gas to have the meter installed and have gas turned on to the appliances.
   
   
6. After the conversion of your gas appliances, Paul Bunyan Natural Gas will perform a safety inspection to make sure everything has been installed according to current code.
   
   Ex. There is a black type CSST with internal grounding made by OmegaFlex called TracPipeCounter Strike that we see used around this area. This type does NOT require bonding. However, yellow CSST (Gastite) type piping must be grounded and bonded.
   
   
7. Some water heaters and stoves may not be convertible. ASK YOUR CONTRACTOR.
   
   
8. Gas fireplaces must be converted before Paul Bunyan Natural Gas will turn on gas, so that everything can be safety tested at the same time. If you have a gas fireplace, please ensure your contractor will convert that as well, or make alternate plans for this conversion.
