Under current conditions, customers experiencing outages should expect crews to respond between 12-24 hours from the time the outages are reported. Restoration may take longer depending on field conditions. TY for your understanding. Our crew won't stop until all are restored.
As we approach today’s peak heat and electricity use, we ask all customers to conserve energy thru 10pm tonight. Close drapes and blinds, set AC’s to 78-82, skip laundry and using lg appliances. If we all do a little it adds up to a LOT of savings and can help prevent outages.
