The Imperial Irrigation District has issued a Conserve Alert effective Thursday through Monday.

With temperatures forecast to climb to near 120 by Sunday, the IID is asking consumers to help take stress off the energy grid. This will help maintain reliable energy delivery and help avert rotating power outages. You're asked to cut power use from 4 - 9 PM daily. Set your thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, avoid using major appliances between 4 - 9 PM and turn off unnecessary lights and appliances.
