Lower Your Energy Bill

Top 10 No Cost Steps You Can Do This Winter
1. Turn down your heating system’s thermostat to 68°F. Turn it down even lower if no one is home for several days.
2. Lower your water heater temperature to 120°F and reduce hot water use by taking shorter showers and using cold water for laundry whenever possible.
3. Turn off lights, televisions and computers when not in use.
4. Remove and recycle your second refrigerator.
5. Keep curtains open on the south side of the house and closed on the north side during the day.
6. Clean refrigerator coils and set the temperature to 36° to 39°F and the freezer to 0° to 5°F.
7. Make sure the fireplace damper is closed when not in use. Don’t send warm air up the chimney.
8. Match the size of your pot or pan to the size of stove burner and cover them with lids when cooking.
9. Once a year, drain about one gallon of water from your water heater to remove sediment.
10. Air dry dishes instead of using the dishwasher’s heat drying option.

Aggressive Construction Timeline for New City Pool

When the City of Hartselle awarded the winning bid for the city’s new pool on January 3 to Woodward Construction, Ronnie Woodward wasted no time in getting ready. According to Mayor Dwight Tankersley, the city gave Woodward the notice to proceed January 4, and construction began the next morning.

“Our goal is to have the pool completed by May 18, in time to open on Memorial Day weekend,” the Mayor says. “We realize this is an aggressive timeline, but Ronnie Woodward says he can meet that timeline, and judging by how fast they are working, we believe that if it is at all possible, he can do it.”
