Homeowners can accidentally cause a power outage while working with a ladder or antenna too close to power lines or hitting a buried line while digging. Traffic accidents can also affect the power supply if a piece of power equipment is hit and damaged. Occasionally, we turn off power to do maintenance and repair equipment. We do this for the safety of our crews.
We try to keep these interruptions as short as possible and schedule them during the least inconvenient times. Outages on the map will give you an estimate of when we hope to have it fixed.
