The Wonder of the Season
Happy Holidays from PWC
As you hang those decorations that bring such joy, please remember safety first.
F If you have a live tree, keep it well watered.
F If using incandescent lights, take extra care (they're hot when handled
or placed next to other objects), and limit the number of strands
you string together. Better yet … use *LEDs – they're safer (stay
cool to the touch), you can string more together, and they last
much longer.
F Make sure all lights/electric decorations have the UL seal and
outdoor lights are labeled for outdoor use.
F Never use cords that are frayed or damaged.
F Don't run extension cords in traffic paths or overload sockets.
F When using a ladder, be sure it's sturdy, securely placed and
away from power lines. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions for use.
F Unplug decorations before you leave home or go to bed.

details on earning a bill credit for purchasing
holiday LEDs.

PWC is proud to be part of cherished community traditions
