Knowing if you need to read your meter
Most of the homes and businesses we serve have an automated meter reading (AMR) device that automatically tells us how much gas you use each month, but in some rare cases, we may need you to read your own natural gas meter and submit the reading to us. We will let you know if you need to read your own meter.
