China News Service, July 31. According to the US "World Journal" report, the high temperature in the past few days has brought a new round of pressure on the power supply system of New York City. In this regard, the United Edison Power Company issued a notice on the 30th, pointing out that the Brooklyn South District Some power supply equipment has problems, which will reduce the concentration of community power supply by many Chinese people, and actively repair the power supply system.
The Mayor of New York, Mayor de Blasio, pointed out that there are problems with many power supply equipment in the southern district of Brooklyn, which poses a challenge to support local residents to supply power. The power company will restrict the power supply in some local areas in recent days to carry out timely maintenance.
According to the power company, the affected area will include Brooklyn 3rd and 4th Streets in the north, Narrows Avenue and Gravesend Bay in the south, Fort Hamilton Parkway and Fifth Avenue in the east, and Gowanus Bay in the west; this range includes Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Sunset Park where Chinese Americans are concentrated, Berry Ji, Dyke Heights and Pineapple Park.
While the power company is actively maintaining the local power supply system in recent days, the power company has also called on 96,000 local residents not to use high-energy-consuming equipment, such as washing machines, dryers, microwave ovens, etc., and also hope that residents will limit the use of air conditioners as much as possible. Use time until the staff completes the repair; residents with two air conditioners in the home, please make sure to use only one of them, and try to increase the temperature as much as possible to reduce the burden on electricity.
At the same time, this period of each year is also a period of high fires caused by the power system, especially in the Chinese-intensive areas such as Sunset Park and Dyke Heights. Due to the dense population and aging residential power supply equipment, many serious fires occur every year. I hope the public will pay attention. Check the power supply system in the house in time.
