This seems like a YUGE PITA for a lot of money. But most of the town is signing on and I wonder what impact that'll have on the local LP supplier.

You are in NJ. I'm sure that the NG folks have cousins in the cement pouring and deck building businesses.

I have never known the exact route of the water line to the house, so I call the town building dept to get the original plan. They can't help me and put onto the state authority for digging. I get a real human and he tells me ... yup...talk to your town.

Better yet if the line does get damaged it sounds like it's on me for the repair cost.

Retrofits suck.

Whacky, well "in your driveway"! Sounds like a huge PITA.

Yep, absolutely.
