❓ Tuesday Trivia Answer Revealed!

The answer is… 3! 💧💧💧

Bamberg has three water towers that are an important part of our community’s water system. Water towers help store treated water, maintain consistent water pressure, and provide a reserve of water during periods of high demand or emergencies. 💦

They may be familiar sights around town, but there’s a lot happening behind the scenes to help keep water flowing when our customers turn on the tap!

Did you guess 3? 👀 Let us know in the comments!

Thanks for playing along with Bamberg BPW Tuesday Trivia!

💡 Did You Know?

Some electronics continue to use small amounts of electricity even when they’re turned off but still plugged in. This is sometimes called standby power or “phantom” energy use.

🔌 When practical, unplug chargers, small appliances, and electronics when they’re not being used—or connect multiple devices to a power strip that can be switched off at once.

Small actions can add up to smarter energy use!

☀️ Hot Outside? Give Your A/C a Break.

When temperatures climb, your A/C may run constantly trying to reach a setting it simply can’t maintain.

🌡️ Raising your thermostat a few degrees during the hottest part of the day—such as from 70° to 74°—can reduce how hard your system has to work and help lower energy use during peak demand.

Every home is different, but a small adjustment can make a difference.

💡 Stay comfortable. Use energy wisely. Help reduce peak demand.
