Simple tips to save energy and stay cool

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.

Community creek clean-ups maintain our important waterways

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.
