It's heating up. We have simple steps you can take to save energy and money as we head into the hot summer months.
-
Be window wise – When the temperature drops at night, open your windows to cool down you your home. In the morning, shut the windows and blinds to capture that cool air.
-
Set your thermostat – While you’re home, set the thermostat to 78°. Also, avoid setting your thermostat to a colder setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner. It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessive cooling and unnecessary expense.
-
Check your water heater – Water heating accounts for about 18% of the energy consumed in your home. Turn down the temperature to 120° in the summer months.

In October 2021, Environmental Utilities’ stormwater program began hosting multiple Adopt-a-Creek clean-up events throughout the city. Outreach efforts led to residents in the community volunteering their time over the following months to refresh waterways that accumulated trash and other waste.
