My aunt owns a home in Palmer Woods, and she received notice that DTE wants to come in and relocate the gas meter to the front of her house. She's been told that its necessary for safety reasons, but it seems like DTE is doing this more for their own convenience. Either way, having a boxy gas meter and gas pipes exposed on the front of the house is going to be a real eyesore. Presumably, they will be doing this with all the houses in the neighborhood, which could negatively affect the historical character of the neighborhood. We're trying to figure out if there are other solutions. Has anyone dealt with this issue before and successfully convinced DTE not to put the meter on the front of the house? Does anyone know which department at DTE I would contact about something like this? Thanks.
