Keeping Our service Workers Safe
Monthly meter readings help ensure an accurate reading of your electric bill. At other times, our field employees might also need to get to the Southern California Edison equipment providing your home with service. And with your cooperation, our employees can complete their jobs quickly and safely.
Clear the Meter Area
Keep the area around your electric meter clear of safety hazards such as debris, toys, hoses, gardening tools, equipment, and overgrown vegetation, as well as bee and wasp nests. Eliminating these hazards will help protect your household members as well as our employees.
Confine Dogs
Please confine dogs and grant meter readers safe access to your property on the date listed on the first page of your electric bill. Even friendly dogs may become defensive toward strangers and attack the meter reader.
Your Edison bill will tell you when you might expect the next meter read. On those days we ask that you please confine your dog and leave the gate unlocked.
If you cannot accommodate our employee with safe access on your meter reading date, please call SCE at 1-800-655-4555 to make other arrangements for your meter to be read.
