PowerTown: Bringing Electrical Safety to Life

At LPEA, safety is our top priority. We're excited to introduce PowerTown—a dynamic, hands-on educational program designed to teach our community about the importance of electrical safety.​

What is Power Town? 

PowerTown is an interactive tabletop demonstration that vividly illustrates how electricity works and the potential hazards associated with it. Using a scaled-down model with live electricity, our trained professionals showcase real-life scenarios, such as:

  • The Dangers of downed power lines
  • Safe practices around overhead and underground utilities
  • The importance of calling 811 before digging
  • Proper actions to take if a vehicle contacts power lines 

This engaging presentation is suitable for audiences of all ages, making it an excellent resource for schools, community groups, and public events.​

Why PowerTown Matters

Electricity is a powerful tool that we rely on daily, but it's essential to understand how to use it safely. PowerTown brings these lessons to life, helping participants:

  • Recognize electrical hazards
  • Understand the flow of electricity from generation to consumption
  • Learn preventative measures to avoid accidents

By fostering awareness and understanding, we're building a safer community together.
