Meter Safety

There is no maintenance that you need to do to our meter on your property, but there are some safety tips you can follow to avoid damage.

Meter Safety Tips:

  • For our employees’ safety, please secure your pets away from meters, and NEVER tie a pet to a meter.
  • Do not stack anything on, attach anything to, or cover a meter as this could damage the meter or piping.
  • Avoid planting trees, shrubs or bushes within three feet of a gas meter. As the bush or tree grows, the roots can damage piping or the gas meter.
  • Remove any snow or ice from the natural gas meter carefully with a broom or brush, but never kick or try to chip with a hard object.
