Electricity, gas and water inside Palo Alto come from a city-owned department, City of Palo Alto Utilities, rather than from PG&E, which serves nearly every other community in Northern California. Power reaches the city through interconnection points on PG&E's transmission system. Palo Alto's record high is 108°F, reached on September 6, 2022, and it sees 90°F or more on about 12 days in an average year. North of Oregon Expressway most homes date from the first four decades of the 1900s, while to the south many are Eichler or Eichler-style houses from the two decades after World War II.
