The Imperial Irrigation District has issued a Conserve Alert.

The Conserve Alert is in effect through Tuesday, August 29 as the National Weather Service is forecasting temperature to reach near 120 on Tuesday. The IID says that by conserving energy we take stress off the energy grid, maintain reliable energy delivery service and help avert rotating power outages. Specifically, you are asked to conserve energy during the hours of 4 - 9 p.m. when demand is highest. Set your AC to 78 degrees or higher. Give major appliances a break, turn off unnecessary lights and check out the IID website for more ways to save energy.
