What should I do if I smell gas?
Natural gas has a very distinctive tart, sulfur odor added to it for safety.

call your local utility company.

Don't operate any appliances, light switches, phones or anything that could

How do I read my meter?
Step 1:
Facing the meter, start with the right-hand dial in the top row, or use the dial
with the lowest numerical value. Record from right to left.
Step 2:
Record the number that the hand on the dial has just passed -- remember that
some hands move clockwise and some hands move counterclockwise. Also remember
that one revolution of the dial drives the next dial by one digit. For instance,
the one thousand dial must make one revolution in order for the ten thousand
dial to move one digit.
Step 3:
Repeat this procedure with each dial in succession, moving to the left, until
you have a number for each dial and ending with the dial marked one million.
This is the number of hundred cubic feet.
