Deck the halls for safety

Posted: November 27, 2024, 7:31 am

The holidays are a time of joy, cheer, and togetherness – and what better way to get into the festive spirit than by decorating your home? As you deck the halls this season, Vera Water and Power wants to ensure your family stays safe.

  • When hanging lights outside, be mindful of power lines – never throw decorations near them.
  • Keep ladders and equipment at least 10 feet away.
  • Match plugs to outlets, and only use outdoor-rated lights and extension cords.
  • Avoid overloading circuits and use plastic hooks instead of staples.
  • Inside, place trees away from heat sources and water fresh-cut ones daily.
  • Turn off lights before bed and use a timer.

We wish you and your loved ones a merry and safe holiday!
