In Spite of the Rains —
POWER SAVINGS
MUST GO ON
Heavy rains during the Fourth of July week
end enabled us to make a temporary and partial
modification of the restrictions upon the use of
electric potver. We were glad that we could of
fer our customers this “vacation” after their
several weeks of self-denial in saving electric
ity for National Defense — and we did it
promptly. But beginning MONDAY, JULY 21,
we must ask you again to limit your use of elec
tricity.
Here are the reasons why partial relaxing of
the restrictions was possible for a temporary
period, and why w’e are again asking you to co
operate in the program of curtailed use set out
elsewhere in this advertisement.
1. The heavy rains swelled the rivers to
above-normal levels; in fact, to near flood
stages. Certain of our hydroelectric plants are
operated by the stream flow of the rivers: others
are supplied by storage reservoirs. While the
rivers were running high, the stream-flow plants
could run at full capacity —for a time.
2. This condition was purely temporary. The
water is now going on down the rivers to the
ocean. While the high water lasted, the power
available from these stream-flow plants, plus
the power generated by steam-electric plants,
was sufficient to permit our customers to use
electricity somewhat more freely than during
the previous month.
3. Our storage lakes benefited to some ex
tent from the rains, hut they are by no means
full. At the present time the total storage is less
than half of what it should he at this time of
year. With the normally dry fall season ap
proaching, the stored water must be preserved
as a safeguard against future interruptions in
the power supply.
4. National Defense is still calling for more
•nd more power. Our “vacation” in Georgia

was not because there has been any decrease
in defense needs for power; it was only because
high water in the rivers made extra power
available temporarily. Now that the rivers are
subsiding, curtailment must be resumed.
Here is the new program in brief:
Beginning Monday, July 21, industries are
asked to operate on tlie curtailment schedules
in effect up to July 7. These schedules provide
for a one-third reduction in the use of power
on week days frona 7 A.M. to 11 P.M. They
permit full operation only at night, from ll 1
P.M. to 7 A.M., and on Saturday afternoons
and Sundays. / i ■ \ ‘ 4
Stores and, other icommercial users are asked
to contribute their share to the program by dis
continuing all exterior, sign and show window
lighting except between dusk and 9:30 P.M.;
to reduce their air-conditioning; to limit their
elevator service as before; and, in general, to
restrict their use of^motor power as much as
possible. This applies only on week days frona
Monday through Friday. There are no restric
tions on Saturday afternoons and Sundays.
The curtailmenVof|white way lighting should
continue on the/^asiß; in effect before July 7.
There are sol many (variations in home con
ditions that it 13 impossible to outline a specific
program. Briefly, residential users are asked
not to waste ^electricity.
We wou/S } like to be able to tell you how
long the /curtailment must continue but we
cannot, it depends on two conditions that
are unpredictable— the/National Defense pro
gram rnd । future rainfall We can say that un
restricted use of electric/service now might re
sult i uneven wc^se restrictions later on. We are
conf/dent we caSi count on your cooperation in
the ft/ture as freely as we have in the past.
