So try to conserve more (or use less) energy between the hours of 6a-10a Mon-Fri beginning Nov 1! Did you know that Fayetteville PWC is the 38th largest Public Power Utility in the Country? And the largest in the State! To that end, PWC owns it's own generation plant. Listen to learn how that can offer big savings to customers when demand on the power grid is high.

Lexi from Fayetteville PWC joins us to talk about storm preparedness. Tropical Storm Debby reminded us that hurricane season will be upon us soon. So it is important to have at least 72 hours of food, water and supplies. Because as we learned during hurricane Matthew in 2016, it could take that long before power is restored. Join us for the conversation.

Today Lexi talks to us about the new Storm Guide now available at faypwc.com, or call the office to request one be mailed to you. Lexi also reminds us that PWC has an outage map to consult BEFORE calling to report an outage. It is more than likely they will already be aware and have information about the cause and ETA for restoration of power. Lastly we discussed the annual Water Quality Report. It is also now available online at faypwc.com. Thanks for listening!

Today we discuss NC Lineman Appreciation Day which is Thursday April 18! It is important to recognize those who keep things working, or get things working again especially when a disastr take out the power. Also remember Time of Usage Peak Hours have changed to 3pm-7pm until October. Try to minimize utilty usage during those hours and shift laundry and doing dishes to Off-Peak hours so you can save some money.
