Library meter tracks energy use
HENSALL — Hydro customers
looking for ways to cut their ener-
gy use have a new way of seeing
which appliances use the most
energy, courtesy of Festival Hydro
and the Hensall library.
Library patrons are now able to
sign out a 'Kill -A -Watt' power
meter the same way they sign out
other library materials.
The device allows users to check
the power usage and efficiency of
any electrical device in the home.
The meter was presented to
Hensall librarian Susan Windle
May 22 by Irene McInnes from
Festival Hydro.
The meter has a large LCD dis-
play that is used to show con-
sumption by the kilowatt-hour
(kWh).
McInnes said the donation is in
time for Energy Conservation
Week which runs May 25-30.
Each day of Conservation Week
sees a different theme ranging
from Electricity Impact Day on
Monday to Save the Watt
Wednesday.
