FortisBC customers are being asked to keep their natural gas meter and outside vents clear of ice and snow.
They're asked to remove any built-up snow by hand and to never kick or hit the meter to break ice or snow build-up.
Also, don’t use a snowplow or blower near a meter and don’t push the snow up against the meter when shoveling snow.
If ice builds up on the meter or regulator, call FortisBC at 1-888-224-2710.
Customers are also urged to clear a path to their meters whenever they shovel their driveways to make sure they can be accessed safely by the homeowner, a meter reader or emergency responders.
