OEM URGES CITY RESIDENTS TO CONSERVE POWER
In anticipation of rising temperatures for the end of the week, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) urges City customers to conserve energy to relieve stress on power lines.
Power outages are common during periods of high heat. It is important to conserve as much energy as possible to avoid brownouts and other electrical disruptions.
Conservation Reminders:
* Set your air conditioner thermostat no lower than 78 degrees a 75-degree setting uses 18 percent more electricity and a 72-degree setting uses 39 percent more electricity. This setting allows for sufficient cooling while still conserving electric power.
* Only use an air conditioner when you are home. If you want to cool your room down before you arrive home, set a timer to have it switch on no more than one-half hour before you arrive.
* Turn off all nonessential appliances.
* Turn off lights in unoccupied rooms.
* Only use appliances that have heavy electrical loads (dishwashers, washers, dryers) early in the morning or very late at night.
While diminishing your power usage may seem like an inconvenience, your cooperation will help to ensure that utilities can continue to provide uninterrupted electrical service.
