    I agree with utilities ours are private also and do a good job I think city issues come from size Being in construction all my life I have noticed towns under 20 thousand work well and fast towns / cities over that size turn into molasses glad now we live in a small town 1500 people...

    We thought about getting a generac. In last 5 years power has only been out 3 or 4 times and longest was only about 2 hrs plus we don't have natural gas or LP. Was going to cost more to get gas or LP set up than the price of the generac so we scaped the idea

    Can you smell the smoke in your area? Do you have wildfire fears?

    I can remember when they had controlled fires and rare to have forest fires - they could not spread. environmentalists need to go back to what worked
