yes--don't you love how they make a special assessment for something that should be a cost of doing business--that is a major replacement cost that Atmos should have been planning for since the lines were installed--
even more important than when people should consider replacing a car or repainting their house

to ask subscribers to shoulder THEIR cost of doing business is just typical in this day and age of companies gobblings all the profits to pay into salaries/bonuses for high employees and not taking care of their business needs...
