The City of Llano and nearby towns urge residents to cut electricity use aiming for 30 percent conservation. City Manager George Rogers notes the Lower Colorado River Authority must report to the Railroad Commission weekly on consumer use and must prove 100 percent power goes to human needs to keep priority.
