Weekend weather forecasts may require us to turn on Enhanced Powerline Settings in Kittitas County. These settings are designed to help keep you safe, but they may result in unplanned power outages.
Given the holiday, we've also added additional staffing for first responders and our operations center. Please be safe and do your part to prevent wildland fires. See this flyer from Washington State's Department of Natural Resources for important safety tips.
Safety first:
- Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized.
- Call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.
- If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies and other flammable materials.
- Always use flashlights instead of candles.
- Be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning: Never install or use a generator indoors or in enclosed or partially enclosed areas, even those that are ventilated.
