Columbia Cold Weather Minute: Keep Gas Meters Clear from Snow and Ice

In an effort to help customers manage winter heating bills, Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc. will be releasing a series of weekly installments throughout the heating season called 'Cold Weather Minute.' These tips are aimed at helping customers manage their energy bills this winter heating season by using energy wisely.

Heavy or hard-packed snow and ice on a gas meter could present a condition that temporarily stops the flow of natural gas or creates a potential safety hazard. To help avoid these types of problems make sure your natural gas meter is clear of ice and snow and that it is visible and accessible at all times. When removing snow and ice, it is important you are very careful. Gently remove the snow or ice with your hands and avoid using a snow blower near a meter.
