Electricity is safe and convenient when used correctly. Call 774-5600 if you see a downed wire or other possible hazard. Watch for overhead power lines, including service drops to the house, when working with ladders, poles, pipes and antennas. Be especially aware of these dangers when playing, climbing, or working around trees near overhead lines, poles with wires, fences around substations, and transformers on the ground. Remember to keep all metallic balloons or balloons with metallic string indoors.
Metallic balloons can be dangerous if they come in contact with power lines.
They can also cause serious power outages if released outside. Always use electrical appliances in dry areas. Electrical appliances in the bathroom should be unplugged when not in use. Operate them with dry hands away from water. Also, keep electrical appliances away from swimming pools and out of the rain.
