Snow, ice & hydrants
Help us help you: keep hydrants and vents clear of snow.
- Shovel 3 feet around the hydrant nearest your home.
- Clear snow from furnace, dryer and gas meter vents so CO can't build up.
- Keep a path to your door clear for emergency crews.
- Never use the oven to heat your home.
In an emergency, always call 911.
