New Gas Service in Chicago

Howdy, 

Is it possible to sub-meter the gas within a SFH rental unit in Chicago.

Let's assume I need a second gas meter for laundry or hot water.  Is that allowed?  How much would that cost?

Thanks, 

Frank

The gas company doesn't really care how many meters they give you. If you have a plumber run the gas pipe to the existing location of the original meter, they will install the 2nd meter for free. Doesn't matter if it is a single family home with an in law apartment or a non conforming apartment...
