PUC Services Inc. is warning customers of a phone scam that has recently surfaced in Sault Ste. Marie and Area. Callers claiming to be from the Provincial Government are seeking information from households regarding their qualification for energy rebates. PUC is advising if you receive a call from someone asking questions of this nature, do not provide any information or book an appointment, and hang up immediately. ... Provincial programs like Save on Energy do not call consumers and ask to schedule a home audit. Instead, interested consumers have to sign up or fill out a contact form before receiving a call back from the program service provider. Customers should report these fraudulent calls to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

Always assume that downed powerlines are LIVE during motor vehicle accidents. If you can safely drive out from under the line or away from the source of electricity, do so and travel at least three metres away. If you are unable to drive the vehicle for any reason, stay where you are until help arrives.... Visit https://ssmpuc.com/safetytips/ for important power line safety tips. #ssmpuc

You don't have to touch a power line to get a deadly shock. Electricity can jump or "arc" to you or your tools if you get too close. We advise anyone undertaking jobs within close proximity (3 metres or less) to power lines to call us in advance. We can help provide a hazard assessment, discuss hazards and barriers with you and perform a disconnection of electricity supply, if required.
