April is National Safe Digging Month
An underground utility line is damaged once every nine minutes nationwide because someone decided to dig without first calling 811, according to data collected by Common Ground Alliance (CGA).
The CGA, the association dedicated to protecting underground utility lines and the safety of people who dig near them, collects information from utility owners throughout the United States to measure the scope of damages nationwide.
Digging without knowing the approximate location of underground utilities can result in damage to gas, electric, communications, water and sewer lines, which can lead to service disruptions, serious injuries and costly repairs.

Spring Break Energy Savings Checklist
Traveling for spring break? Give your electric bill a break too! Check off this list before you start packing:
Unplug all electronics –
This will prevent unnecessary energy usage and will protect your home against power surges and electrical fires.
Invest in a timer –
Deter would-be burglars by putting timers on lights in different rooms. Set them to go on and off at various times throughout the night and no one will know you’re not actually there. This will also save you money by not leaving a light on the entire time you’re away.
Adjust your thermostat –
If you’re leaving for spring break and do not have an app to program your thermostat, adjust the temperature to be set between 50-60 degrees. This will keep appliances and pipes from freezing and also save energy.
Turn your water heater down –
Set your water heater to ‘vacation mode’ or turn the temperature down before you leave. The heater works to keep the water warm even if no one is using it.

KENERGY POLE INSPECTIONS SCHEDULED
Alamon, a pole inspection contractor for Kenergy, will begin inspecting poles in the spring. Each wooden pole Kenergy owns, or is attached to, will be inspected to ensure there are no hazards. Inspectors check for decay, insects, cracks, holes, age, and any damage members may have caused.
You may see trucks in your area bearing a ‘Kenergy Contractor’ magnet. Inspectors will also have an Alamon picture ID with them. Inspectors will be working during daylight hours only. Don’t be alarmed if you see the contractors parked for a few hours and/or riding from pole-to-pole on an all-terrain vehicle.
Inspection areas include Yager, Lewisport, Hawesville, Weberstown, and part of Sullivan. These inspections will be ongoing until the end of July.
If you suspect something irregular or suspicious, please give us a call at 800-844-4832.

Press Release: Prepaid Billing Now Available

PHONE: 270-689-6158
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PREPAID BILLING NOW AVAILABLE TO KENERGY MEMBERS
A new payment option is now available for Kenergy members. Traditionally, members receive a monthly bill for the electricity they’ve used. Prepaid Billing works just the opposite. This new program is completely voluntary and allows Kenergy members to choose how much and how often they want to pay before they use the electricity.
With this new, innovative program, because participants will pay for electricity in advance, members do not have to pay a deposit, there are no monthly bills, and no late fees.
For more information regarding the new Prepaid Billing program, visit www.kenergycorp.com/prepaid-billing. To sign up for the Prepaid Billing program, visit your local Kenergy office or call 800-844-4832 with questions.
