Residents are reminded that Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Clocks will be set back one hour, giving everyone an extra hour of sleep.
To prepare for the time change, residents should turn their clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday night, October 31.
The time change is also a good opportunity to review home safety measures. Residents are encouraged to check smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms and replace batteries as needed to ensure the devices are working properly.
Working smoke alarms can provide an early warning in the event of a fire, while carbon monoxide detectors can alert occupants to the presence of this dangerous, odorless gas.
Residents should also test their alarms and follow the manufacturers’ recommendations for maintenance and replacement.
Taking a few minutes to adjust clocks and check safety devices can help households prepare for the time change and maintain a safer home throughout the year.
