"Baby it's hot outside!" But that didn't stop @DCOPC's Cheryl Morse from joining the #Ward4 pop up on the Walter Reed campus on Georgia Avenue NW. Last week you might have seen her with other city public servants on GA Ave & Sheridan St. NW. #ward4 #OPCinYourNeighborhood

A regional Drought Watch is in effect. No emergency, just a good time to use water wisely. Water supplies remain adequate, but small conservation steps now can help protect our rivers and strengthen the system if dry weather continues. 🔗 dcwater.com/about-dc-water/m… #WiseWaterDMV

Good food for thought from Jordan Taylor of SynergyGrid @ the Public Service Commission Energy Action Summit: "Affordability is not just lower rates...Energy is not a spectator sport. Neither is community."
