2008 Irrigation/Load Control Newsletter


Load Management Notices

You can stay up-to-date with the latest information on the load control program by tuning in to KRVN 880-AM radio. This is where you will find regularly scheduled announcements beginning in June, each morning at 8:29 a.m. every day of the week. Early release messages will air on the “59” at 4:59, 5:59, 6:59; 7:59, 8:59 and 9:59 p.m. This schedule will continue throughout the summer to the end of the load management season, or mid-September.

You can also listen to load management updates on our tollfree hotline, at 1-800-652-9809, and also view information on Southern’s website at www.southernpd.com. You can also receive email notifications about load management. If you would like to be notified in this manner, please contact Anthony Bohaty, Irrigation Services Manager.
