Answer 1

Answer:

                                          DO'S

• DO keep the area around your gas meter clear of debris.

• DO check all of your outdoor appliance exhausts year round to make sure they are clear.

• DO install a carbon monoxide detector, and make sure to regularly test it.

• DO keep your furnace healthy by changing your filter as required and doing regular checks  

                                                        DON'TS

• If you smell natural gas, or if you hear or see signs of a gas leak, DO NOT attept to find the leak yourself.  

• DO NOT open your windows if you smell natural gas in your home! Natural gas is combustible only when it makes up 5-15% of the air in a given space. By opening a window, you might actually make the area more unsafe.

• DO NOT turn on/off any lights or appliances if you smell natural gas in your home or building.

• DO NOT store flammable products in the same room/area as your furnace.

• DO NOT keep combustible material or debris around or near your furnace. You should have a clear space around your furnace at all times.

• DO NOT go near an area that has a sulfur-like, rotten egg odor.

• DO NOT use your weed-whacker or lawn mower too close to your gas meter.

• DO NOT tie your dog to your gas meter.

• DO NOT uproot any trees or shrubs before calling 811. If you do plan on uprooting and trees or shrubs around your gas meter, please call Peoples first to make sure it is safe. Roots can easily become entangled with natural gas pipelines.
