Happy National Bathtub Day! An average bathtub is 76 gallons--that's one bath, 50 toilet flushes, or four showers! Baths aren't all about water though, so treat yourself and relax every once in a while. #Bathtubday #TreatYourself #WaterConservation

Power is out for just under 700 homes near Oppenheimer and Trinity. Electric linemen from DPU are working to restore power. The outage was caused by an underground fault, however crews are still working to determine where it is. Restoration is estimated to be from 4-to-6 hours.

Unsure what to do with your outdated electronics? If you envision extending their life beyond your next trash day, it might be worth trying out Target's electronics trade-in program. They will let you trade in certain electronics for eGiftCards. #Reuse loom.ly/hn9QcbI

A little maintenance goes a long way for your irrigation system. Spruce up your sprinklers to minimize water waste and maximize watering efforts! Enroll in the automated metering system alerts to catch leaks early and reduce the impact to your pocketbook! #WaterSense #AMI

Inspect sprinkler heads. a broken one can waste 25,000 gallons of water in 6 months! Connect hoses and pipes well. A leak as small as the tip of a pen can waste 6300 gallons of water per month! Select WaterSense labeled irrigation controller and water smarter. Direct spray on landscapes, not pavement! epa.gov/watersense

“Extreme heat” is a period of temperatures above 90 degrees for at least two days. Cooling stations provide relief by allowing individuals a place to sit in conditioned space with water without the expectation to purchase things. #Mitigation #CoolingStations
