May Customer Campaign - Generator Safety
A home generator can provide important back-up power during an outage when used safely. Always operate generators outdoors in a well-ventilated area, use outdoor-rated extension cords, and never “back feed” power through a household outlet. Back-feeding can create serious safety hazards for utility workers and your home. Permanently installed generators should include a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician to safely isolate your home from the electrical system. For important generator safety tips and information on permanent back-up generators, please review the Generator Safety Fact Sheet.
Water Quality - Homeowner and Building Manager Tips
Legionella is responsible for >90% of waterborne outbreaks caused from plumbing, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In most cases, the treated water delivered to homes all over the U.S. is required to meet federal and state standards for drinking water. Once the water enters a home's plumbing, a different environment exists where the water quality can degrade over time and the plumbing becomes vulnerable to the growth of these bacteria. Homeowners and building managers have a critical role in protecting the health of their occupants. Click HERE to learn how to maintain proper water quality in your home or building.
