Outdoor natural gas meters and/or pressure regulator sets are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.
However, the Waukee Gas Department offers these winter protection tips:
- Clean and repair leaky eaves and gutters regularly to prevent ice and melting snow build-up.
- Do not pile snow against your natural gas meter and/or pressure regulator set when shoveling or blowing snow.
- Never allow snow to completely cover a natural gas meter and/or pressure regulator set.
- Remove soft snow build-up gently, using only a broom or your hand.
Call 515-978-7920 if you notice a build-up of snow or ice. Do not try to remove it by kicking or hitting the meter or piping.
