heat, ice, high winds, tornadoes, to name
a few. Since weather - related outages
can be widespread, repairs may be more XC
complex and restoration may take from
several hours to several days in extreme 1 —
situations. Non - weather related power

Lawn Care &
hosphorus is one of the most
troublesome pollutants in
storm water runoff. Phosphorus
comes from many sources, and
it is the primary cause of water
quality problems in our lakes and
streams.
Everything that is or was living
contains phosphorus. It is in
leaves. It is in lawn clippings. It is
in animal wastes. It is an ingredient
in most lawn fertilizers. It is even
attached to soil. When leaves,
lawn clippings, animal wastes,
fertilizers, and soil are picked up
by storm water runoff and are
carried directly to our local lakes
and streams, they provide the
lakes with excess phosphorus.
This excess phosphorus causes
increased algae growth.
Algae are small green plants
that live in lakes and streams.
Increased algae growth is
observed as green algae blooms
or "scums" on lakes. Too much
