The rains that started the first of March should have started last September. As a result, power reservoirs are still wap below normal. Snowpack is less than half what it should be. Right now there is a 50- 50 chance mandatory cur tailment will be necessary this summer or fall.That projection is based on “normal” precipitation from here on out. Think about it this way. Loss of power will mean loss of jobs.. .and family hardship. It will mean mandatory steps to cut use. No ifs, ands or buts. The only way we have of avoiding this situation is to curtail use now. It may be difficult to understand why turning off lights, reducing thermo stats and hot water use is so important now. But it’s going to be a lot tougher next fall If we push our luck ...and lose.
