Stay informed.
  • There are many ways SRP customers can stay informed about outages in their area:
  • Sign up for free outage alerts. We'll text or email customers if the power goes out in their neighborhood and keep them informed about outage causes, estimated restoration times and when power is restored.
  • Use the SRP Power mobile app to report an outage, or use the interactive outage map to see areas without power.
  • Bookmark the SRP outage map to check for outage updates and details.
  • Follow SRP on Twitter and Facebook to get live updates during big storms.
Stay safe.
  • If an outage does occur, stay calm and follow these tips:
  • If you see a downed power line, stay at least 100 feet away . Electricity can travel through the ground.
  • DO NOT touch downed power lines or try to move them.
  • Call 911 to report the locations of downed power lines.
Call us if you have any questions.
If customers ever lose power or have questions, they should call SRP at (602) 236-8888. Thank you for the work you do in serving our customers and your community.

From Your Councilmember
This morning I stopped at 59th Avenue and Desert Cove to t hank members of our Right-of-Way Department who were planting some of the 50 trees I recently purchased to replace trees lost in the Barrel District due to storms over the past few years.  The replacement trees include Vitex and Desert Willow, both year-round flowering trees that are drought tolerant and require minimal maintenance.  This project also includes repairing or replacing the drip irrigation system to the new trees to ensure they get off to a good start.  
Max Morales, ROW Crewmember, Councilmember Turner, Manuel Figueroa, Fred Sanchez

Like these new trees, be sure YOU stay well hydrated as temperatures are forecast to climb back into the 110 degree range over the weekend!

Have a Great Weekend,
Bart Turner

Recycling Tip...Plastic Bags!

Plastic bags wrap themselves around the conveyor belt rollers and damage processing equipment. Due to these processing problems and the dirty/contaminated condition of plastic bags in a commingled program, they are not recyclable in Glendale's program. Many grocery stores have installed plastic bag recycling programs. Utilize these programs and DO NOT place plastic bags in your recycling container.
