July 15 is Social Media Giving Day, a day to use the power of social media for charitable causes. We hope you'll take a moment to set up a recurring donation (or give a one-time donation) to Project Share, which helps elderly, disabled, and low-income people in our community with utility bills. 100% of all money donated goes to help those who need it. You can learn more at https://lnkd.in/gv6BkSWj #socialmediagivingday

💧 RECORD SETTING WATER DAY! 💧 In June, a long standing record was broken at Huntsville Utilities, the record for amount of water our system pumped in one day. The old record was set on August 24, 2007 and was 75.6 million gallons. The record was broken on June 19 of this year, and was broken again on the 24th, 25th, and 26th! The new record is 79.33 million gallons! American Water Works Association

People often find ways to adapt during a crisis. Case in point, when Hurricane Beryl passed through Texas, more than 2 million people lost power and the outage map for CenterPoint Energy stopped working. But Houston residents soon discovered they could track power outages through the Whataburger app. While not as detailed as the usual outage map, it did give them a good idea of what parts of the city had power based on which Whataburger locations were open.

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NIKOLA TESLA! 🎂 Today we celebrate the birthday of one of the greatest minds of all time, Nikola Tesla, born on this day in 1856. A fascinating man whose inventions and discoveries made our modern way of life possible. #PublicPower #History #NikolaTesla

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎂 Today we mark the 258th birthday of Jacob Perkins, the American inventor known as "the father of the refrigerator" (although he called it "the apparatus and means for producing ice, and in cooling fluids," which doesn't exactly roll off the tongue). To celebrate, we suggest making sure your fridge's coils are clean, the seals are tight, and there is a 1-2 inch space between the back of the fridge and the wall to allow for adequate ventilation. Admittedly, it doesn't sound like a super fun party, but there you go. #history #refrigerator #energyefficiency #birthday

👀 LOOK FIRST! 👀 A pic to remind you to always look closely before reaching into an in-ground sprinkler system box or meter box. They can be prime real estate for snakes and other creatures. 🐍

The Downtown Rescue Mission recently held a food drive for their Independence Picnic, so the Huntsville Utilities Volunteer Council held one among our employees to contribute. We appreciate everything the Downtown Rescue Mission does for our community and were happy to help out. @drmhuntsville #publicpower #communitypowered #givingback
