Energy theft is unsafe and illegal
People who install unauthorized connections to divert energy around meters and into their home or business are not only breaking the law — they’re also endangering property and lives. Tampering with a gas meter or natural gas line, including theft of copper pipe, could cause property damage and fatal injury from asphyxiation, explosion, or fire.
If you suspect someone might have tampered with a meter, please call our Energy Theft Hotline at 1-866-515-9864. We’ll keep your name and all information confidential. Your call can help protect property and lives. Offenders will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, including fines and possible imprisonment.
