Natural gas meter summer safety tips

Your natural gas operators have a few natural gas meter safety tips to assist in ensuring your meter operates correctly and safely all year long.

Natural Gas operators must have easy access to your meter to conduct regular maintenance and safety inspections and respond to an emergency. Maintain a clear path to your meter, and don’t let fences, decks, or walls obstruct the meter.

Trim weeds, tall grass, and other vegetation near your meter, natural gas exhaust, and air intakes, to reduce the chance of CO accumulation in your house.

Handle your lawnmower with caution around your gas meter. A gas leak could result from hitting or pushing your natural gas meter.
