Williams Earns ‘Green’ Praise

Staff Reports

Richard and Doris Green live in a borough east of Philadelphia.

Their home is nestled in a quiet, wooded
cul-de-sac near our Transco natural gas pipeline.

A while back, we expanded the line in their area. To do so, we needed access to right-of-way that brought us, well,Ā  right up to their driveway.

ā€œIt was very nice working with these people,ā€ Richard says. ā€œIt was really a good experience. They were all very helpful. We can’t say enough about how they took care of our place.ā€

ā€œWe were going to repave this driveway anyhow, so it came in handy,ā€ Richard says. ā€œThey had to tear it out and they put the new one in. They did a very good job, a wonderful job.ā€

Williams also rentedĀ the GreensĀ a four-wheel drive vehicle, making it easier for them to navigate around the construction area. In turn, Mrs. Green often brought food and refreshments to the workers.

ā€œIt was hot that summer and I felt so bad for those guys,ā€ Doris says. ā€œI even went and bought some ice cream and took it to them; they really appreciated that.ā€

When our project was complete, the Greens felt strongly enough about Williams’ work that they wrote a letter to express their gratitude.

ā€œThe job went smoothly and the work crews were respectful to our needs,ā€ read the letter, which was co- signed by another couple who live nearby.

ā€œThe excavation sites were amazingly restored to their original state or improved upon. All the work was accomplished with the utmost respect for us and our properties.ā€
