June 2022 Newsletter
Dear valued member,

Happy, hot, windy, and dry June. As you likely know, four fires have already impacted LPEA's service territory this season - the Ute Pass fire, the Plumtaw fire, the Perins peak fire, and the most recent Bear Dance fire. The impact of these fires on LPEA infrastructure has so far been minimal but has required us to shut off power to several towns and neighborhoods to support firefighting efforts.

As we progress further into fire season, I want to encourage everyone to please update your contact information with LPEA. If we do not have your email address and telephone numbers, we cannot keep you apprised of emergency situations impacting your property. Check and update your information by calling our main number, emailing us at csr@lpea.coop, or logging into your SmartHub account and checking your details there. 

Stay safe out there!
