****ATTENTION HARLETON SUBSTATION MEMBERS.****
We would like to inform you of a scheduled power outage for Saturday morning, January 18, 2025, as we perform essential maintenance on our substation. The outage will start at 5:00 AM and last about an hour.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to improve our service.
🚨 ATTENTION URECC MEMBERS 🚨
A blast of Arctic air is expected to move into our service area early next week, bringing a potential mix of winter weather. We encourage all members to begin preparing their homes now to ensure safety and comfort during this cold snap.
Here are some helpful tips:
❄️ Insulate exterior pipes to prevent freezing
❄️ Seal any cracks around windows and doors to keep the warmth in
❄️ Let faucets drip slightly to help prevent pipes from freezing
❄️ Ensure your heating system is working properly and ready for the cold
❄️ Make alternate arrangements for outdoor pets to keep them safe and warm
❄️Have a backup plan in place for any medical equipment you rely on
Stay safe and warm!
