Enstar is asking Alaskans to clear snow from meters to help prevent damage that could lead to natural gas leaks following heavy snowfall and high winds, particularly in Mat-Su.
Drifted snow is piled up at a home in Southcentral Alaska after recent snow and wind storms in December 2022. ENSTAR is asking homeowners to clear snow from meters, pipes and vents.
Enstar, which serves roughly 150,000 customers in Anchorage and the Cook Inlet region, said Friday that it has received “numerous calls for gas leaks due to the weight of snow damaging piping connected to natural gas meters.” Snow drifts created by strong winds put more weight on gas meters than typical snow accumulation, Enstar said in a statement. The problem is especially acute in Mat-Su, which wasthat led to extended power outages for some residents and roads obstructed by snow drifts.
