Our electrical system is now in “one shot,” which is an operational safety practice used during wildfire season. While this process makes our system safer during wildfire season, it also increases the frequency and duration of power outages. Learn more at https://t.co/d36blmRJ6K.

Winter is back! TDPUD and @TruckeeFire are calling on our community to “adopt” your nearby fire hydrant, and keep it clear of snow and ice.

Work together with your neighbors to clear a 3-foot perimeter around the entire hydrant, and make sure it’s visible from the street.
