Gas Meter Safety

When it comes to your natural gas meter, you can avoid potentially hazardous situations by following these simple guidelines. Do not: 

  • Stack toys, garden hoses, or other types of equipment on or near the meter.
     
  • Chain bikes, boats, or pets to the meter.
     
  • Allow children to sit or play on the meter. The extra weight and strain can damage both the meter and the connecting gas pipes.

 


When planting trees, shrubs or plants, be sure to allow plenty of room for future growth around and below the meter area. Fully grown trees could obstruct or even uproot your gas lines if planted too close to the meter. Please keep all growth trimmed so meter dials are visible.  Remember to call 811 prior to digging to have your underground utility lines marked.
