Winter Safety Tips
Power Outage Tips

Electrical fires and other accidents can happen during the winter season. Keep the following in mind while staying warm during the colder months.

Use a space heater with an auto shut-off feature in case it tips over.

Never use a generator, camp stove, charcoal grill, propane, or gas heater indoors. Carbon monoxide poisoning can occur and even result in death. 

Learn more about Carbon monoxide poisoning here.

Power outages or service interruptions can occur for a variety of reasons including weather events like lightning strikes to equipment or wind blowing trees and limbs into power lines; vehicle accidents involving power poles, lines, and equipment; unexpected equipment failure; and animal contacts to lines.  Click here for more information.

Call 512-393-8313 to report a power outage, low hanging power lines, or vegetation / tree limbs on the lines.
