HURON – Fire department and utility company officials are reminding home and business owners of the importance of keeping snow and ice from accumulating around natural gas and electric meters on their structures as well as fire hydrants in their neighborhoods.
Huron and much of central and eastern South Dakota have experienced a series of snowstorms with wind and more of the same is on the way.
NorthWestern Energy is once again encouraging customers to check their meters to ensure they aren’t covered by snow or ice.
City workers have been pushing snow away from fire hydrants, but residents are welcome to clear snow away if they see a hydrant in their neighborhood that has not been opened up yet, said Fire Chief Ron Hines.
