If it was me, and I'm going to live there a while, I'd wait until it's time to redo the deck, and schedule the work while the top boards are off the deck. Hopefully the water heater lasts until that time, as I'd hate to have to replace the water heater before replacing the deck. I guess if you did, make sure it's a model that can be converted from LP to Natural Gas.
I just talked to my brother-in-law, and he was lamenting replacing his deck. He put it on in the 70's when he built the house, and found out he's not as spry as he was 50 years ago.

The deck is old enough to use new boards but the water heater is only 8 years old.
I kind of feel like I have a gun to my head. The gas company is saying that they'll do the trenching and meter mount for a small fee but if I wait till later then I'll pay a hefty fee.
