It may not seem like a major concern at first, but if you repeatedly pour fats, oils, and grease (FOG) down your drains, blockages and damages may creep up on you!
Flush with care and prevent a big scare this Unblocktober!

DON'T TOSS F.O.G!" followed by an itemized list explaining the acronym: "FATS," "OILS," and "GREASE" accompanied by small splashing droplet icons.

Did you know that showering accounts for roughly 17% of residential indoor water use?
This Shower Better Month, let's lead by example! Adopting a few simple, eco-friendly habits at home helps conserve water, reduces the energy needed to heat it, and lessens your overall environmental footprint:
Top Ways to Shower Better for the Planet
Cutting your shower time down to 5 minutes saves thousands of gallons of water annually and significantly reduce the energy required for water heating.
Turn off the water while soaping up, shampooing, or shaving, and turn it back on only to rinse.
A single leaking fixture wastes hundreds of gallons over time, placing an unnecessary strain on natural water sources. Routinely check for drips and replace worn-out parts.

🐶 Pet Preparedness Matters

Your pets are family, and they need a plan too. Don't wait until a storm is approaching to prepare for their safety.

Before severe weather arrives:
🐾 Pack a pet emergency kit with food, water, medications, bowls, waste bags, and comfort items.
🦴 Make sure your pet wears a collar with up-to-date ID tags and consider having them microchipped.
📋 Keep copies of vaccination records and medical information in a waterproof container.
🐕 Have a leash, carrier, or crate ready for each pet.
🏨 Know where you'll go if you need to evacuate, and identify pet-friendly shelters or lodging ahead of time.

Remember: If it's not safe for you, it's not safe for your pets. Never leave them behind during an evacuation.

Preparing now helps ensure every member of your family—two-legged and four-legged—is ready when severe weather threatens.
