Until electricity has been substantially restored to the City of Crystal Lake, the City will not restrict property owners from continuously running generators. Generators should be placed in an outdoor location that will cause the least amount of noise impacts to neighboring properties. Placing generators in garages is not recommended.
Residents are reminded that although portable generators are useful, when temporary or remote electric power is needed, they also can be hazardous. The primary hazards to avoid when using a generator are carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from the toxic engine exhaust, electric shock or electrocution, fire and burns. For more information on possible portable generator hazards, visit the consumer Product Safety Commission website: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/portgen.html
