Winter Safety with Gas Meters

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KEEP YOUR METER CLEAR OF SNOW AND ICE BUILDUP?

  • Accumulated snow places stress on your meter piping. Damage to the piping can cause a gas leak.
  • If there is an emergency, emergency response crews need clear access to your meter.
  • Excessive snow cover may result in abnormal pressure, affect appliance operation and interrupt your service.
  • Ice and snow may block the electronic reading of your meter. Our desire is to accurately bill your gas usage.
