UGI personnel must be able to easily access your meter to perform functions such as meter readings, periodic safety checks and routine maintenance, as well as manage critical tasks in an emergency.
To help ensure that your meter functions properly, safely, and dependably, please follow these important tips:
If You Have An Indoor Meter:
Keep the area surrounding the meter clear of boxes, furniture, shelves, etc.
Do not build walls or paneling that obstructs access to the meter.
Never hang, or lean anything, against a meter.
Instruct children not to climb on or play near a meter.
If You Have An Outdoor Meter:
Keep meter clear of any landscaping that obstructs access or visibility. Shrubs and plants should trimmed regularly
Do not build decking or fencing that blocks access to the meter.
Instruct children not to climb on or play near a meter.
In winter, carefully clear ice and snow from the meter, as well as from any appliance exhaust vents. Never use a snow blower or plow around a meter. Shovel the immediate area carefully by hand.
