⚡ A downed power line is NEVER safe to approach! Windy fall weather and storms can bring trees and power lines down. Even if a wire looks harmless or isn't sparking, it could still be energized and deadly.

đźš« Stay away from downed power lines and anything they may be touching.

đźš— If a power line falls on your vehicle, stay inside and call 911 unless fire or another immediate danger forces you to exit. If you must exit, jump clear without touching the vehicle and ground at the same time, then shuffle away with your feet together.

📱 Report downed lines to CCEC and the local authorities, and keep others away from the area.

When it comes to downed power lines, stay back and stay safe!

As temperatures begin to drop, we spend more time indoors—and the risk of carbon monoxide exposure can increase. Every month, take a minute to test your carbon monoxide alarms and double check the expiration date on devices. If you use a portable generator during a power outage, remember that generators should only be operated outdoors in a well-ventilated area. A few simple precautions can help keep your family safe all winter long.

âś… Contact 811 before you dig.
âś… Wait for underground utilities to be marked.
âś… Respect the marks and dig carefully.

Energy Saving Tip! Adjust your water heater settings to save energy. As cooler weather arrives, your water heater may be working harder to keep up with longer, hotter showers. Check its temperature setting and consider lowering it to 120°F, which the U.S. Department of Energy recommends for most households. Lowering the temperature can reduce energy use while also helping prevent scalding. Always check the owner's manual before making adjustments.

🚨 SCAM ALERT: The Utility "Discount" Scam 🚨
Heads up, everyone! If someone offers to pay your electric bill for a "discount" (e.g., "Pay me $200 and I’ll pay your $400 bill"), it is a scam.

How it works: They pay your bill using a stolen credit card. You see a $0 balance and send them your cash. Weeks later, the bank cancels the fraudulent payment. You now owe the full bill again, and the scammer has your money.

Stay Safe:

đźš« NEVER pay your bill through a third party on social media or Telegram.

âś… ONLY pay through CCEC's official payment site https://carteretcraven.coop, PowerPay24 app, or payment line at 252.777.5150.

💡 If the discount sounds too good to be true, it’s 100% a trap. Don't let these scammers leave you in the dark! Share this to protect our neighbors. 🛡️
