As always we will have crews on standby if an emergency should arise. If your power does go off, first check all your breakers. Then contact your neighbors to determine if they also are out of service. If you know of any reason for the outage, please report the location of the problem. A broken pole or wire, trees on the line, or sparks coming from a pole or wire can all cause trouble.
Many outages can be quickly repaired, but can sometimes take hours to find. Reporting these problems will save our crews valuable time. Also it is important to call in if you do have an outage. This will let us know the extent of the problem so crews can be dispatched more efficiently.
