Meter Installation Guidelines
- A 24”x 10” pressure treated board must be in place to secure the natural gas meter bracket.
- Around the natural gas regulator, allow a minimum of 1 metre (3 feet) clearance from any exhaust vents, doors and opening windows. There must be a minimum of 3 metres (10 feet) from air intakes or sources of ignition.
- We reserve the right to determine the meter location(s) due to potential encroachments and to ensure future access by field technicians. Alternate meter location(s) require SaskEnergy‘s approval before construction.
- After the natural gas service line installation, your mechanical contractor must book an appointment with SaskEnergy to connect the meter.
- The above list is not comprehensive. Refer to your licensed mechanical contractor for appropriate codes and other specifications
Preparing for the Service Route
- The service trench must be at least .6 metres (2 feet) away from the parallel property line to allow for future construction such as building a fence.
- The trench for natural gas must be at least 1 metre (3 feet) from the electrical trench.
- We require a path free of buildings, fencing, construction material, decks or any other obstructions to operate our equipment safely and efficiently. We recommend a path along the entire service route of at least 2 metres (6.5 feet) wide.
- Be aware that any foundations, patios or pads near the service route may settle after trenching.
- In rocky conditions or if the ground is frozen we may need to operate larger equipment and need more room to work.
- Underground infrastructure, including customer-owned facilities, must be located and clearly marked.
