Pepco, an energy company, has agreed to pay $57 million to the District of Columbia to settle a lawsuit over pollution in the Anacostia River. The settlement comes after years of legal battles and will be used to fund environmental projects and initiatives aimed at improving the health of the river.
Pepco, which serves customers in D.C. and parts of Maryland, suggests setting your thermostat a few degrees higher than normal, lowering blinds and closing drapes during the hottest part of the day, getting a tuneup for your air conditioner, changing filters, using ceiling fans to evenly distribute cool air, running appliances at night, and signing up for usage alerts to save money and energy while keeping your house cool this summer.
