Fire Weather

Warm, dry and windy conditions are forecasted for eastern Washington, including the Kittitas Valley, over the weekend.

As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we will be turning on system settings in the affected areas. These settings, which are more sensitive to potential hazards like a tree branch touching a power line, will stay in place as long as high wildfire risk conditions are present.

Enhanced Powerline Settings are designed to help keep you safe, but they may result in unplanned power outages. This is not a Public Safety Power Shutoff, where we proactively turn off power in advance of severe weather.

Safety first. Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized. Call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.

Deactivated gas line inspection program (DGLI)


Project overview

PSE’s deactivated gas line inspection program (DGLI) inspected retired natural gas services across our system to confirm they were properly deactivated. This included evaluating active, above ground services to help ensure they were not susceptible to damage such as tampering or vandalism.

PSE crews began inspecting our deactivated pipelines in summer 2017. Their work concluded in December 2020, after completing over 40,700 site inspections. Through the DGLI program, we confirmed that all of PSE’s retired natural gas services were properly deactivated.

At PSE, we know our customers, employees and the communities we serve expect to live and work around a safe and reliable natural gas system. When improving and operating our system, we follow or exceed strict federal and state safety requirements related to pipeline safety. Check Gas Safety Tips for more information on natural gas safety.
