HomeMy WebLinkAbout11NOVEMBER 2002 10� City of Chubbuck NEWS P.O. Box 5604 • 5160 Yellowstone Ave., Chubbuck, ID 83202-0006 • Phone (208) 237-2400 The holidays are with us again. We have had some good moisture and hopefully this will continue. May I make a few sugges- tions that can save you "energy" money. 1. Turn off lights when not needed. 2. Turn off the TV when no one is watching. 3. Tum off your computer at night. 4. Set your thermostat to 68° in winter daytime and 63° at night. Wear a sweater if not comfortable. 5. Utilize your room ceiling fan or other fan instead of air conditioner when possible. 6. Set your hot water heater at 120°. The above suggestions have been given to me and will save energy and money. If you can save $5 a month and we probably could when we multiply that out to all the households in this valley we would save a great amount of energy and money in a year.

BUILDING1 Building Department questionnaire: The Building Code & Fire Code requires that addresses be visible and posted at the front of each Building for which of the following reasons? A. Because they look so nice with your decorations. B. To help out of town friends locate your home. C. So emergency services can quickly locate the property. D. To get the pizza delivered to the correct party. After you have resided or painted your home you need to replace the street numbers for which ever reason you find best. WATER BILLS DEPARTMENTWATER Just a reminder that during the months of December, January and March water meters are not read. These are the colder months of the year and the water meter can/vault provides it's own insulation preventing freezing/breaking of the meter. If you notice any meter can/vault lids not shut securely please contact the city offices and one of our trained technicians will correct the problem. Never access the water meter can/vault as damage to the meter and possible electronic equipment could occur and this would be very costly to you, only city personnel are allowed access to the water meter cans/vaults.
