Did you know? Your air conditioner doesn't actually create cold air—it removes heat and humidity from inside your home and transfers it outdoors. Replacing your air filter regularly can help your system run more efficiently, improve airflow, and even lower energy costs!

Pouring FOG down the drain causes it to solidify inside sewer pipes, restricting flow and potentially causing wastewater backups—an issue that can be costly to fix.

Yesterday's outage at the Indian Mounds Substation was caused by a failed lightning arrester, a piece of equipment designed to protect the electrical system from voltage surges. Based on our assessment, recent storm activity likely weakened the arrester, leading to its failure.
