Village of Riverton Urges Electric Conservation
The regional electric grid operator has called on area customers, including those served by the Village of Riverton, to reduce electric usage from now until Tuesday January 27th at 12:00PM. Please do your part by taking the following conservation measures:

• For electric-heated buildings, decrease heat setting by two degrees or more.
• Reduce “ghost” electric use by unplugging items not in use (e.g. coffee makers, appliances, and chargers).
• Use minimal lighting.
• Avoid using major appliances.
