Give your gas meter space to work :)

Your meter’s job is to measure the amount of natural gas used by your home or business. The area around it should be kept clear so that you, the meter reader or emergency responders can reach it at all times. Keep access to your meter clear, so that it works accurately and safely this winter.

Meter safety tips for winter

• Remove any built-up snow by hand until the regulator and shut-off valve are clear

• Never kick or hit a meter to break ice or remove snow build-up

• Tell your snow removal contractor the location of your meter

• Don’t use a snowplow or blower near your meter

• When shovelling snow, don’t pile it up around your meter

• Ensure appliance vents on the side of your home are clear from snow

• If ice builds up on the meter, call Fortis BC at 1-888-224-2710
