U.S. Senate Passes Northwest Power Bill A power bill that places emphasis on con servation, provides rate relief for residential and small farm customers of investor owned electric utilities, such as PGE, and creates a governors' council to guide the future of energy in the Northwest was passed by the U.S. Senate in early August. It's an important first step toward lower power costs for residential and rural customers. The bill will go to the House in the next few weeks for consideration. Of the bill, Senator Mark Hatfield told the Senate: " w ithout any doubt, I predict (the legislation) will be viewed in the future as the most important bill ever to have affected the Pacific North west." PGE agrees. Write your U.S. Con gressman and urge his support. What You Don't Know Can Hurt You With more and more utility lines being placed underground especially in new residential developments it's a good and safe idea to know what you're getting into before you start digging drainage ditches or fence holes, for example. Electric cables could be buried without warning signs and digging into them could mean unnecessary and expensive service interruptions or worse it could hurt you. We surely don't want that to happen. If you have under ground service in your area, call your nearest PGE office before digging it's better to be safe than sorry.
