Energy Efficiency Tip of the Month
Periodically inspect your dryer vent to ensure it is not blocked. This will save energy and may prevent a fire. Manufacturers recommend using a rigid venting material — not plastic vents that may collapse and cause blockages. Source: energy.gov

Co-opcurrents For Dixie Electric Cooperative Member-Owners August 2016
Don't Toy With Electrical Safety
Encourage your kids to always use caution when playing outdoors. They should keep a safe distance from power lines, substations, and other equipment we use to provide electricity to your home. Flying remote controlled toys and kites can be dangerous and even deadly if they come into contact with electrical equipment. Never climb trees near power lines, and do not go near a downed power line. Also, if playing games like Pokémon GO, be sure to stay away from electrical equipment such as power lines, meters, transformers, electrical boxes, and substations.
We're always looking out for you.
