Take Care in Shoveling

Unitil External Affairs Director Alec O’Meara said there are a few things homeowners should watch as the snow accumulates.

"Customers should keep a close eye on their vents for gas appliances and gas meters and carefully remove any snow and ice that may build up to prevent damage to utilities. Following a significant snow or ice storm, chimneys and vents should be cleared to prevent carbon monoxide from building up and potentially causing illness or even death. Carbon monoxide alarms should be installed inside homes and businesses," O'Meara said.

A broom should be used when clearing snow and ice from meters. When removing snow, O'Meara said it's important that snow isn’t shoveled or plowed up against the meter or vent pipe.
