Most of the time you aren’t aware of all the work your Utilities electric, gas, water and sewer crews do. You take it for granted that when you flip a light switch, turn up the heater or hop in the shower, the energy and water you need is available. You don’t think about us—and that’s how we want it to be! However, in recent months, utilities crews have been a lot more visible. We have a record number of infrastructure improvement projects going on, ranging from replacing old power lines and utility pipes to inspecting for crossbores and bolstering our emergency water supply system. Read all the details at www.cityofpaloalto.org/utilityprojects If you have to contend with a project in your neighborhood, remember your short-term inconvenience will result in state-of-the-art utilities and long-term peace of mind. —City of Palo Alto Utilities Electric Substation Crew i Palo Alto
