Write a Letter to the Future
Write a Letter to the FutureYOU CAN HELP PASADENA WATER AND POWER make history by sending a message to the future in a 100-year time capsule that will be sealed in May. The Letters to the Future contest is part of PWP’s 2006 Centennial celebration, marking 100 years of service to the community. A slate of events is planned to thank city residents for their continuing support for PWP through the years. In 1906, Pasadena residents formed PWP to provide lower-cost electricity to this vibrant and rapidly growing community. Over the course of 100 years, PWP employees have built and maintained the city’s water and electricity infrastructure and provided the utility services that have helped create Pasadena’s distinctive lifestyle and character. Through March 31, Pasadena residents can submit a one-page letter, answering the question: What do I want Pasadenans in the year 2106 to know about the Pasadena of today? Your entry may include descriptions of your personal hometown experiences or comments about today’s lifestyle. Up to 25 winning letters will be selected based on subject appropriateness and originality. Contest winners will be invited to place their letters into the time capsule personally during a May 13 community ceremony at Paseo Colorado and will each receive four tickets to this year’s Fourth of July fireworks spectacular at the Rose Bowl Stadium. Winning letters will be sealed into the time capsule, which will be opened in May 2106 during PWP’s bicentennial celebration. Your Letters to the Future entry may be computer-generated or handwritten and should be no longer than one standard-size page (8 ½ x 11”). Please include your name, address and telephone number on your entry and mail it by March 31 to: Letters to the Future Contest Pasadena Water and Power 150 S.

The panels are
also connected to a computer program that compiles system data that can be
incorporated into the school’s science and math curriculum. The program collects
data such as kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity produced each day, the number
of kWh produced since the solar panels were installed and much more. According
to the data collected, if the system continues to operate at the same level it
has since installation, it will produce more than 20,000 kWh in the next year,
prevent more than 11,000 pounds of air pollution and save nearly $10,000 in
electricity costs.
