The Leesburg government meeting on July 24, 2025, focused on the town's response to recent power challenges, particularly concerning rolling brownouts and noise regulations related to emergency conditions.

During the meeting, officials discussed the implications of these brownouts, which are classified as emergency situations. This classification allows for certain exemptions from existing ordinances, particularly regarding noise levels generated by diesel generators. The town manager has the authority to make decisions about power and water utility consumption during emergencies, although the specific language in the town code remains somewhat vague.

Concerns were raised about the noise produced by generators exceeding the maximum allowable level of 55 decibels. However, it was clarified that during emergencies, such as the current heat wave, there would likely be no repercussions for exceeding these noise limits. The town measures noise levels at the property line of affected residences, not from distant locations.

Additionally, it was noted that local power companies are encouraging residents with home generators to use them to help alleviate the strain on the power supply during this period of high demand. This request aligns with the town's emergency response strategy, emphasizing community cooperation in managing power consumption.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to further clarify the town code regarding noise regulations and emergency conditions, ensuring that residents are informed about their rights and responsibilities during such events.
