At this time, we can confirm we do have multiple power outages that are affecting approximately 2,000 meters.
Residents and businesses in our service area could be without electricity for up to 24 hours.
When an outage occurs, power is first restored to substations and major lines, as well as to critical infrastructure in our area.
For your safety, please stay away from any downed power lines.
For the safety of everyone, if you are using a portable electrical generator, do not tie it into your circuit panel. An improperly wired generator can send power into downed lines causing serious injury or death to you, a family member, a neighbor, or one of our repair crews. A generator can only be tied into a circuit panel if a licensed electrician has installed a transfer switch.
If you are using a whole-home generator, it must have a transfer switch, installed by a licensed electrician, to prevent the generator from back feeding into our electrical system.
If you run extension cords from your generator to your appliances, make sure your extension cords meet code.
Do not attempt to run too many appliances off one generator because this could cause an overload and fire.
We would like to thank all our employees who are working long hours as part of the restoration and response effort. We would also like to thank our members for their patience.
Although we post service updates to social media, we do not monitor social media for reports of outages. All outages must be reported by phone or text messaging.
To report an outage or a downed power line, you can call 1-800-443-9462 or text “OUT” to 1-800-443-9462.
