Smoke Alarms

Smoke alarms save lives. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out.

Attend A Workshop and Earn Two Trees
Plant Savings With FREE Shade Trees

SRP's Shade Tree Program provides customers up to two free desert-adapted trees (approximately 4-to-6 foot saplings) to plant in energy-saving locations around your home. Shading your home helps reduce cooling costs, improve air quality and lower the Valley's heat effect without using a lot of water.*
To receive free trees, participants are required to attend a free workshop to learn how to best plant and care for your trees. Space is limited. Reserve your spot by signing up online.

Census 2020 | Avoid “The Knock”

Census Bureau employees will began in-person follow up with households that haven’t yet responded to the 2020 Census as early as today/August 6. There’s still time to complete the census by phone at 1-888-330-2020 or online at www.2020census.gov and avoid having a census taker come to your door. 

If you do receive a knock, please answer the door – in a smart and safe manner! It is important to know that official Census Bureau employees will have an ID badge with their photograph and a US Department of Commerce watermark. They will also have census branded equipment such as a tote bag and mobile device. Census Bureau employees will never ask for social security numbers, banking information, passwords, or payments or donations of any kind. Census employees will be using health precautions such as face masks and social distancing for your protection and theirs. If you have questions about the identity of someone who comes to your door, you can call
1-844-330-2020 to speak with a Census Bureau representative.
Be Counted: Census 2020
It has never been easier to respond to the census on your own - whether online at www.2020census.gov, by phone, or by mail - all without having to meet a census taker.
I introduced an idea designed to remind drivers of the importance of driving safely on neighborhood streets. 
They are 18" x 24" signs, red on one side and yellow on the other. 
Let me know if you'd like one for your yard.
