Keep Your Meters Clear of Snow and IceMany National Grid customers have electric and/or natural gas meters on the exterior of their homes and businesses. When clearing snow, customers and snow removal contractors should be aware of the location of this equipment to avoid coming into contact with meters or outside gas risers. Striking a natural gas riser or electric wire with a plow could cause injury. • The buildup of ice and snow around or over natural gas meters, regulators and pipes can pose a serious safety risk.
