The scope of the Investing in Illinois initiative includes:

Inspect Sewers

Sewer inspections are part of Nicor Gas' safety practices. If your sewer service is not accessible from the street, Nicor Gas' contractor NPL will schedule an appointment to inspect the sewer line from inside your property. There will be no interruption to your natural gas or sewer service during the inspection. Vital information from the inspection will be marked on lawns and sidewalks with spray paint.

Identify New Meter Location & Utilities

Nicor Gas or our contractor UMI will contact you to schedule an appointment to locate your exist- ing natural gas line and natural gas meter. We will identify where the new meter(s) will be placed outside of your property, if applicable, and locate your existing natural gas line. Any obstruction (drywall, furniture, enclosures) must be removed before the appointment so we can access your natural gas piping.

During this step, water, sewer, electric and cable utilities will also be located and identified with spray painted markings and colored flags. It is important that these markings always remain visible for your safety. Private utility lines, such as sprinkler systems, are your responsibility to identify and mark at the time other utilities are marked.

Install the Natural Gas Main & Natural Gas Line

Nicor Gas' contractor NPL will install a new nat- ural gas main in your neighborhood and will also install a new natural gas line that connects your property to the natural gas main. Utilities may again be marked with spray paint and flags.

Connect the System & Retire Facilities

Nicor Gas or our contractor UMI will contact you to schedule an appointment to move your natural gas meter outside and reconfigure your inside piping. Your natural gas will remain off for approximately three hours. If there is more than one meter, the process may take longer. As a safety measure, we will remove or seal the re-

tired natural gas line inside your property. If there is any remaining pipe inside your property, please call the "Project Related" contact noted on this newsletter to verify if this pipe contains natural gas if you will be doing any work on or around it.

Restore Landscaping & Pavement

We understand that you value the appearance of your property. Nicor Gas, or one of its contrac- tors, will restore landscaping and paving impact- ed by our construction to the condition in which we found it. Temporary restoration of some areas may be necessary until permanent restoration can be completed.

If your address is not listed, you have received this newsletter to inform you of work being performed in your neighborhood.

Report any gas leaks, odors or emergencies to 888.642.6748
