Description

Press release from the City of Waukee: January 12, 2021 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.
