Keep Pathways Clear of Debris

Your local professionals at Blue Ridge Propane brave all types of weather to make sure you have propane in your tank, to maintain a safe and efficient use of all of your propane appliances. This means rain, snow, sleet or shine, cold or warm weather, our delivery drivers are making their rounds. To be sure we can always make a delivery, driveways need to be clear of overhanging trees, low hanging utility wires or any other obstacles that would inhibit a propane tank truck from coming onto your property safely. Trim hedges, bushes, and trees frequently to prevent overhangs. As a courtesy, when planning your landscaping keep in mind that a clear path needs to be maintained to your propane tank at all times of the year. This means any tree limbs, trash or other debris needs to be kept off of or away from the tank. Decorative additions that may hide a tank, including lattice work or fencing needs to be maintained as to not block entrance to the service valves located on the tank. Also, fencing around a tank should be easily accessible. Drivers have to pull the delivery hose from where the truck is parked to your tank. The hose doesn’t need to be dragged over anything that would inhibit easy movement, or snag the hose in any way. We also ask that before you fence in any area for pets, that your propane tank isn’t included in that enclosure, to prevent driver injury from territorial pets or their excrement.
