Good job Atmos and your subcontractor, good job. Posted on Facebook (and confirmed):
Hey Atmos Energy and your sorry a** subcontractor, Miller Pipefitters-you both suck. Miller, thanks for showing up unannounced, letting yourself in my fenced yard, removing the curb in front of my house, and leaving my front yard looking like this. Thanks, too, for turning off my gas. Atmos, thank you for not coming, as promised, to re-light my pilot. I guess I’ll see you Monday, when you re-open. P.S. I guarantee y’all have not heard the last of this-or me. Just. You. Wait. (Update: Atmos wound up coming out and re-lighting the pilot this morning thanks to a friend of author's friend knowing someone. Now about that yard.....KF)

Probably thought the house vacant from looks of yard.
After being ignored by Atmos for several months, I finally had to threaten to call the PSC (Public Service Commission). Miller Pipe fitters will be glad to give you a half assed repair job on that. It is amazing to me the quality work that was done in the past by in-house employees of Atmos & Entergy, yet now they have removed the in-house employees, sub it all out, and do not require the same quality of work, yet our rates go up. PITIFUL.

The post says that Miller did that to the yard.
At least the magnolia survived.
I can tell you for a fact the way to get assholes like Atmos to come out right away is to tell them you smell gas. If you don't tell them that, they'll advise "We'll try to get to you early part of next week".
Atmos could care less about the consumer as they basically have no competition. This is the problem. Can you imagine if they had competitors. This is what's so strange to me. I've lived in Mississippi for 9 years now and I've never seen companies have no competition. The entire PSC is a total joke. It won't change until you allow other companies to compete.
@6:41 Where did you live before that had [n + 1] natural gas service providers each with its own distribution network? Please be specific.
There was a story on Fox 40 this morning where Miller pipe fitters broke the sewer line in some poor person's yard while fixing the gas line. Now raw sewage is leaking. They have been out to fix it like 3 times. I live in Brandon and our gas is through Centerpointe.
8:07 - here you go pal. Do some research next time.

I switched natural gas providers in Georgia all the time. Whoever had the lowest rate got my account. Whoever owned the pipeline got paid a distribution fee. It's not brain surgery.
Jackson residents demand a solution to ongoing raw sewage leak
Waiting for somebody to explain how multiple service providers can exist in a single community.
Back when we had MP&L and Mississippi Valley Gas Company, we actually knew the company president by name and this type of thing didn't happen.

In city of Dallas we had multiple as well as Houston. Not uncommon really.
Competition wouldn't have done a thing to stop this yard from getting torn up as 6:41 indirectly (lame) attempts to claim.
Sorry for the mess.
I knew the atmos guy who came to my yard. His dad did my moms hair for years.
He was super nice to me and gas lines were repaired with minimal damage to my yard.
They have some good guys.
I live in Madison and have finally made the tough decision to change my electric power from Entergy to Gulf South Utilities out of Mobile. I'll be making the phone call later today.
Hey moron in madison, there's no such thing as "Gulf South Utilities out of Mobile". try again and while you're at it, explain how you're gonna change energy providers in a non-competitive regulated state. maybe brick-lady can help you with that.
Don't feed the trolls 8:20.
