Due to the extreme cold, and to help maintain reliable power supplies, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is requesting all customers voluntarily curtail any non-essential electric loads effective immediately today, January 21, 2025.
Tonight, our area is expected to experience some of the coldest temperatures this season, which will lead to higher energy demands. As part of the TVA’s Emergency Load Curtailment Program (ELCP), TVA is implementing Steps 10 and 20 which aims to proactively maintain a stable and reliable power grid during peak hours between 5 a.m. and 12 noon, as this week’s temperatures approach record setting lows. This request includes reduced lighting during the day, adjusting thermostats when not home or in parts of the residence or business that is not routinely occupied, and unplugging devices or appliances not frequently used. Please be aware that these steps will likely be in effect on Wednesday, January 22, and possibly Thursday, January 23, as well.

A new traffic signal has been installed at the intersection of Robert C. Jackson Drive and Big Springs Road. City of Maryville Engineering and Public Works initiated the signals on flashing operation December 23. Flashing operation is a state-required operational mode for new traffic signals and allows motorists to become aware of the new light and make appropriate adjustments to driving habits. The light is flashing yellow on the Robert C. Jackson Drive approach and is intended to signal drivers to proceed with caution through the intersection. On the Big Springs Road sides of the intersection, the signal is flashing red. This requires drivers to use the normal stop sign protocol and wait for traffic to clear before entering Big Springs Road. Traffic Operations Manager Jason Chai explained, “It takes some adjustment time for drivers to be aware of new signaling devices. Some drivers have interpreted the yellow flashing lights as a four-way stop, however, the yellow lights mean to proceed – but with caution.” The lights will be on flash operation until January 6 and will operate as a regular traffic signal at that time. For more information, contact Engineering and Public Works at 865-273-3500. |
