A major change is coming to the way Enbridge Gas does business. The company is going to install automated meter reading devices on all of it's exsisting and future meters. Jamie LeBlanc, Manager of Finance and Control for Enbridge Gas New Brunswick tells Tide News this will improve efficiency and customer service.

 The new gear will allow the company to read up to 10,000 meters on a single route by driving through a neighbourhood with the equipment mounted on a vehicle.

Enbridge says it will begin converting it's exsisting meters in October with the complete over-haul of the system to take two years.  The company services just  over 300 customers in the St. Stephen and St. George area.
