Sniffy says, if you smell gas....

1. If you detect a faint odor of natural gas, check the pilot lights. If the pilot light or burner flame is out, shut off the gas supply. Allow ample time for any gas accumulation to escape before relighting.
2. If you smell an odor or know there is a damaged gas line, do not light any matches, candles, lighters, flashlights, motors or appliances. Don't use the light switch, telephone or cell phone.
3. Get everyone out of the building. Call us at 402.554.7777 from a phone not located in the building.

Thirstin says, try these outdoor "wise water use" tips...

1. If you allow your lawn to go dormant during the drought, water a half-inch each week if it hasn't rained for three weeks. Watering in the fall will help produce a thicker turf in the spring. If you shut down your underground sprinkler system to avoid freezing, consider hand watering your lawn.
2. In the spring and summer months, water every other day, unless you have new sod.
3. Water in the early morning, 4 to 10 a.m., to allow grass blades to dry, making them less susceptible to foliar diseases. Watering is more efficient in the morning due to less evaporation and wind speed. Don't water if it's windy.
4. Adjust sprinklers to aim water directly at plants rather than sidewalks, paths, driveways, or fences. Use sprinklers that emit large droplets, again to reduce losses due to evaporation.
5. Check hose connections for leaks, and repair them quickly. When you use a hose, attach a hose nozzle that can be shut off when not in use. A single hose left on uses nearly 300 gallons of water an hour.
6. In hot, dry weather, use a broom instead of water to clean patios, sidewalks and driveways.

Indoor wise water use tips:

1. Inspect all pipes and faucets for leaks. Make necessary repairs. If every household in America had a faucet that dripped once each second, we would waste 928 million gallons of water a day or enough to fill 7.5 billion 8 oz. glasses.
2. Check toilets for hidden leaks. Tank-to-bowl leaks can waste about a quart of water with each flush. Place a few drops of food coloring in the tank. Wait 15 minutes. If the color appears in the bowl, you have a leak. Make necessary repairs.
