Description
As we move into the storm season, we would like to remind everyone about safety near downed power lines. It is crucial that the children also know to stay away from all downed wires. Every wire should be considered "live" for safety's sake.
When storms strike, downed wires can energize the ground up to 35 feet away — even farther in wet conditions. The PUC and national experts urge residents to follow the critical safety tips found on the attached flyer.
