Utility Officials Remind Everyone To Keep An Eye On Meters During Wintry Weather

January 08, 2024 Steve Schwaller

(Undated)– Utility providers are requesting customers keep an eye on meters during wintry weather.

Officials with Black Hills Energy say a buildup of snow and ice on natural gas meters can create a safety hazard and even cut off the flow of gas to heating equipment and other appliances. Customers are urged to check their meters and gently clear away snow by using your hand or a broom. They say a shovel, ice pick, or other sharp tools should NOT be used.
