National Grid says gas hook-ups to start
Company responds to order from Cuomo
BOROUGHWIDE — National Grid has started the process of hooking up natural gas service to an estimated 1,000 customers in Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island who had previously been denied service, according to the company’s president, who spoke out in the wake of scathing criticism of the company from Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
“We’ve begun the process of contacting and re-connecting natural gas service to residential customers in Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties who were previously disconnected from our system more than two years ago, no longer accounted for in our supply portfolio and denied re-connection under our current connection restriction guidelines,” National Grid New York President John Bruckner said in a statement issued on Oct. 14.
