GRU works diligently to improve the reliability of your electric, water and natural-gas utilities, but during a major storm, service outages are inevitable. Here are some tips for securing your home or business as a storm approaches.

Electric

• Turn off or disconnect all outside electric appliances, such as pool pumps
• Prepare to operate your portable generator safely

Natural Gas

• Gas service should be left on at the meter to maintain pressure in the gas piping within the house
• If you do not want to continue gas service, turn gas off at each appliance. After the storm has passed, you will just have to relight each appliance.

Water

• Store an adequate supply of bottled water to meet the drinking water needs of your family.
• Fill your bathtubs with water to be used for flushing toilets if water service is interrupted.
