Barbecue Safety  

  
 
 

An estimated 5,700 grill fires fires occur annually in the United States on residential properties.

 

Follow these simple safety tips, and you will be on your way to safe grilling!

  

  • Propane and charcoal barbecue grills must only be used outdoors! If used indoors, or in any enclosed spaces such as tents, they pose both a fire hazard and a risk of exposing occupants to toxic gases and potential asphyxiation.
  • Position the grill well away from siding, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
  • Keep children and pets away from the grill area by declaring a 3-foot "kid-free zone" around the grill.

energyefficiency 
Moreno Valley to be Recognized for Energy Efficiency

 

Southern California Edison (SCE) will be joining the City of Moreno Valley at the September 11, 2012 City Council meeting to celebrate the City's elevation to the Gold Tier level of SCE's Energy Leader Partnership.

 

Moreno Valley is one of only a few cities in Southern California to reach Gold Tier.

 

Moreno Valley decreased energy consumption at municipal buildings and facilities by more than 11% compared to 2004 levels.  Moreno Valley also earned more than $21,000 in incentives from SCE since 2010.

 

The Moreno Valley community at large also reduced its energy usage by a significant 22% from 2004 levels.

 

This translates to a total annual utility bill savings of over $20 million and more than 130 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions avoided each year, or taking over 11,674 cars off the road!

 

smartcontroller

EMWD's Smart Controller Direct Install program is a share-of-cost program that requires no up-front costs and zero money down for qualified customers.
