United Way Fresno and Madera Counties

Today we celebrate Juneteenth and honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black communities.

In partnership with SCE and PG&E remind you that the electrical system around your pool or hot tub can be a hidden hazard. Wet skin close to electricity increase the risk of electrocution, especially with underwater lights, pumps and outlets.

To keep everyone safe and prevent electric shock drowning, we strongly recommend having your electrical system inspected, repaired and upgraded by a licensed contractor to meet local and National Electrical Code standards.

Additionally, always avoid setting up pools near overhead power lines—keep at least 25 feet of distance for safety.

En colaboración con SCE y PG&E, le recordamos que el sistema eléctrico alrededor de su piscina o whirlpool bath puede suponer un peligro oculto. La piel mojada cerca de la electricidad aumenta el riesgo de electrocución, especialmente con luces subacuáticas, bombas y enchufes.

Para garantizar la seguridad de todos y evitar ahogamientos por descarga eléctrica, le recomendamos que un contratista autorizado inspeccione, repare y actualice su sistema eléctrico para que cumpla con las normas locales y del Código Eléctrico Nacional.

Además, evite siempre instalar piscinas cerca de líneas eléctricas aéreas; mantenga una distancia mínima de 25 pies por motivos de seguridad.
