Save Your Water, Save Our Community

Water is an essential resource, and in the summer months, it can easily run low. Conserve water and help avoid drought by taking shorter showers and only running dishwashers and washing machines when full. Small changes like these can help conserve the water supply our community depends on.

Out of Power, But Not Out of Options

Power outages most often occur during the summer months when residents run air conditioners and power usage is at its peak. If your electrical power is cut off, food in your refrigerator and freezer will spoil. Plan ahead by keeping nonperishable food items in your emergency supply kit that require little to no cooking, store freezer packs to help keep food cold during a power outage, and keep food in the driest and coolest spot in your home.
