SoCalGas is issuing a system-wide curtailment watch. SoCalGas is currently meeting system demands utilizing storage withdrawal and flowing supplies. However, due to forecasted cold weather conditions throughout the SoCalGas service territory, there is a potential for supply shortfall. Customers are advised that they may be receiving a notice to curtail service. SoCalGas always encourages conservation and currently is asking its customer's to reduce their natural gas use to help lower the possibility of natural gas and electricity shortages.

SoCalGas urges Customers to:

• Lower their thermostats to 68 degrees or below
• Delay the use of natural gas appliances
• Washing clothes in cold water when possible

More than 95% of Southern California homes use natural gas for home heating and about 60% of electricity used in California comes from power plants that run on natural gas.

More ways to conserve natural gas are available at www.SoCalGas.com/advisory.
