xcessive Heat is Causing Problems in North Texas
The ongoing heatwave is putting a strain on North Texas. Denton County has issued a Local Disaster Declaration for Threat of Wildland Fires Due to Dry Conditions in Denton County and the increased demand for energy is causing the City of Sanger to come dangerously close to reaching our cap. We appreciate all who are making the conscious effort to conserve as much as possible. Here at the City, we are operating in low light and a much warmer office climate. If you stop by City Hall during normal operating hours, the lights may be off however, I assure you, we are open. We anticipate that our system will continue to feel the strain until Mother Nature decides to cool off. We ask for your continued support through this trying time. Some low impact adjustments we can all make include turning out lights when you leave a room, avoid running your dishwasher and cloths dryer between 2 - 8 PM, and for those who work outside the home, consider bumping your AC temp up a few degrees while you are out. With all of us making just a little change, we can ensure that our electric usage doesn’t reach it’s cap. For now, forecasters indicate that we are going to be in the triple digits for a bit longer. Remember to check on your elderly neighbors, and if you have pets, consider bringing them inside. When unable to bring them inside, make sure they have plenty of water and some place to get out of the sun. If you must be outside, drink plenty of water. #StaySafeSanger and thank you for your continued support.
