URGENT BEAT THE PEAK


6 P.M. to 8 P.M., Tonight, Thursday, February 5

and

7 A.M. to 9 A.M., Tomorrow Morning, Friday, February 6

Because of the colder than normal temperatures across our region today and the slow track of this extremely cold weather out of our area, between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., tonight, AND between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., tomorrow morning, we are asking you to delay the usage of all unnecessary lights or appliances during these hours.

While one of the largest consumers of electricity in the home during these hours and during this time of year are heating costs, other large consumers of electricity include major appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers, hot water heaters and stoves.

By delaying the use of unnecessary lighting and appliances between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., tonight, AND between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., tomorrow morning, we can save energy resources, avoid high cost energy and help the environment.

We thank you for your help. Together we can “Beat The Peak”

Big brother is watching! The new administration has determined that more energy is not neccessary for the well being of the workers. Put on two or three sweaters, and help your comrads!
