Vectren wants to remind customers about safe snow and ice removal.
Remove large icicles hanging over meter assemblies and appliance vents.
If your gas meter is near a sidewalk or driveway, make sure whoever removes snow from your property is aware of its location.
Use a broom, not a shovel to clear snow from your meter assembly and vents.
If your gas meter is encased in ice, do not attempt to melt and/or chip the ice, as this could cause damage to the meter. Allow the ice to melt on its own.
Particular attention should be paid when moving snow on a commercial lot. Be sure not to pile snow around gas meters.
Consider installing driveway entrance reflectors around gas meters in close proximity to a roadway or driveway.
