Along with your local power company, we are doing our part to reduce the strain on the power grid. Across the region, we are lowering thermostats and keeping lights off in our office buildings and plants. You can help, too! Here are some tips: https://t.co/Hgt7oEpJfo

Protect pipes from freezing in this cold. Let water drip from faucets, open cabinets under sinks so warm air can circulate around pipes, put a styrofoam cover on outdoor spigots or wrap them with a towel and secure it to insulate the spigot. See https://t.co/pmAlhHrpBb for more.
