Your Monthly Safety Reminder


When it comes to your natural gas meter, follow these simple guidelines to protect yourself and your family.

Natural gas safety
  • Keep the area in front of and around your meter clear. Our employees must be able to access the meter at all times.
  • Do not stack anything on your gas meter.
  • Depending on meter location, bollards (vertical posts) may be required for protection against vehicular damage (cars, boats, trailers, etc.)
  • Avoid planting trees, shrubs, or bushes within three feet of your meter. As plants grow, roots can damage piping or the gas meter.

Energy Safety During Monsoons - Stay Safe and Alert!

Monsoons can damage electric infrastructure and result in power outages. While most of the natural gas system is underground, a storm could damage the gas infrastructure resulting in a service outage.
