Important — Keep gas meters clear of snow

To the community,

As we have seen in recent years, large amounts of snow can be potentially dangerous if we do not take certain precautions. The fire department would like to encourage all South Lake Tahoe residents to clear snow away from natural gas meters and propane regulators in the event they become buried.

You can avoid a deadly catastrophe by clearly marking all gas meters and regulators and maintaining their access during periods of large snow accumulations.

Thanks for helping keep our community fire safe.
