Scottsbluff, Nebraska – October 10, 2019 — With this season’s first winter storm conditions upon us, Black Hills Energy wants you to know it is ready for the storm and remind you about some important safety information. Snow and ice buildup on your natural gas meter can create a safety hazard and even cut off the flow of natural gas to your heating and appliances. To avoid trouble, gently remove snow and ice from on and around the meter with your hands or a broom.
