Summer fun means cooling off in the water. But remember, electricity and water never mix! Keep all electrical devices at least 10 feet away from pools, lakes or any water source and never bring them into the water. If you’ve been swimming, make sure you’re completely dry before handling any electronics to avoid the risk of electric shock. #SafetyTips

No matter how hot, cold, windy or stormy it is, our local lineworkers never back down! They power through it all to keep our lights on and our community connected. #ThankALineworker #Reliablitiy
