Water & electricity don't mix. If you are spending time w/ the family around a pool this weekend, make sure electronics are at least 5 ft away from the water, & always have dry hands & feet before using anything electric. When possible, try to only use battery-operated products.

[Patrick McDermott @APS_PatrickM]

@apsFYI There’s a very good chance, most likely, Don Willis created this.

[Hon. Lorenzo Sierra @Sierra4AZ]

COMING SOON! This time next year, @AZAvondale will have an aquatic center with a lazy river, 10-lane pool, slides and diving boards. I am certain our #LD22 families will love the center!

It’s a rare opportunity that our crews get to bring power to a family for the first time ever in that family’s life, and that’s exactly what they have been doing in Navajo Nation, in partnership with @NTUAUtilities for the Light Up Navajo III project.

[APS @apsFYI]

Happy 136th birthday, APS! Back in 1886, our founder was granted the area’s first electric and gas service franchise by the Phoenix City Council. Arizona is our home and we are so proud to serve this beautiful state.

Linemen are first responders too. Many times they are responding right along side with police and fire departments. If you've ever wanted to learn more about this profession, check out the article below featuring Scott, one of our journeyman linemen.
