Dear Customer,
The weather forecast for our area calls for inclement weather this weekend, with temperatures below
freezing and chances for snow and ice on Saturday and Sunday.
The State’s electric grid will be challenged to meet the needs of all Texans during this cold front so preparation
for a possible power outage would be recommended.
Here are a few cold weather and energy tips:
• Locate your water shut off valve and remove debris and obstacles. Click here to watch this short
video of how to locate and shut off the water to your home. Any water leaks or broken pipes on the
customer’s side will require a licensed plumber.
• Remove garden hoses and wrap exterior pipes and faucets.
• Turn off irrigation systems.
• Cover irrigation back flow valves and piping.
• Cover pool equipment and hot tubs to maintain heat levels.
• Open kitchen and bathroom cabinets to expose the pipes to the warmth.
• Have extra bottled water and non-perishable food on hand.
Below are energy tips to help be prepared in the event of loss of electricity:
• Turn down the thermostats to 68 degrees or slightly lower.
• Know where candles and battery-operated flashlights are and keep them close at hand.
