Fire Weather Forecasted

Due to current weather forecasts a Red Flag Warning has been issued in Kittitas County. As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we are turning on system settings that are more sensitive to potential hazards. These settings 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.

For more information or to report a power outage, visit PSE’s Outage map.

alert 

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.

Connect your water heater

The newest generation of electric water heaters are compatible with the EcoPort Wi-Fi communication module, which allows PSE to adjust your water heater’s energy usage.

Check to see if your water heater is compatible and request your free EcoPort, or, if you’ve already received an EcoPort, follow the instructions below to set it up.

  • Check compatibility and request your EcoPort

    Most electric water heaters manufactured after Jan. 2023 and sold in Washington are EcoPort-compatible, and many older heat pump water heaters are too.
