09.20.2018
Northeastern PA -
The safe and reliable delivery of natural gas or electric energy is a priority for all of us at UGI. To ensure your safety and the proper functioning of your meter, UGI personnel must have easy access to your meter to preform meter readings, periodic safety checks, and routine maintenance.
FOLLOW THESE TO KEEP YOUR NATURAL GAS OR ELECTRIC METER OPERATING PROPERLY ALL YEAR LONG:
Do not tamper with your meter, or attempt to service or maintain the meter yourself.
Instruct children not to climb on, or play near, a meter.
In the winter, carefully clear ice and snow from the meter as well as any appliance exhaust vents. Be sure to clean and repair leaky seams in your eaves, gutters and downspouts to prevent melting snow and ice from dripping onto the meter
Never use a snow blower or plow around a meter. Shovel or broom the immediate area carefully by hand
If the snowfall is deep, please clear a safe path to the meter.
Keep your meter clear of any landscaping that obstructs access or visibility. Shrubs and plants should be trimmed regularly.
IF YOU HAVE AN INDOOR METER:
If your meter is indoors, do not build walls or paneling that obstructs access to the meter.
Keep the area surrounding the meter clear of boxes, furniture, shelves, and other obstacles.
Never hang or lean anything against your meter.
Instruct children not to climb on or play near a meter.
Do not tamper with your meter, or attempt to service or maintain the meter yourself. Contact UGI immediately at 800-276-2722 if you suspect illegal tampering or theft of natural gas service.
